Hi Rene,Sven, ea,


How did you get it to actually work? I got the deb from
(http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/o/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent_1.0.9.20140216.git5168c4-1ppa1_all.deb)
, since I'm not willing to add ubuntu sources to my apt-configuration
since that might make me run into dependency troubles later on.

After downloading and dpkg -i'ing it, I ran an apt-get -f install in
order to get the dependencies. Then I reran dpkg:


root at host:~# dpkg -i
ovirt-guest-agent_1.0.9.20140216.git5168c4-1ppa1_all.deb

There's a configfile regarding initscripts in /etc/init,  but no such
thing on the sste, (I just had a look at the contents of the ubuntu
package too).
How did you resolve this? Creating my own initscript isn't that hard but
it sucks when it comes to having a maintainable setup...


Cheers,
