build-scripts: linux install: skip the v4v packages #351

Build and ship them but don't install them by default, since OpenXT uses argo now. They can still be installed manually with apt-get/yum if needed.

What are the names of the v4v replacement (argo) packages?

eric-ch commented 5 years ago

@stacktrust This removed the v4v/libv4v pre-compiled packages and let the user install Argo (and optional libraries) on their own using the instruction provided in the https://github.com/OpenXT/linux-xen-argo repository.

Do we plan to put the Argo libraries into the Linux tools?

eric-ch commented 5 years ago

I would not think so, packaging binaries is dependent on the distribution used and should be handled at that level IMHO. In this case, providing a dkms configuration and instructions on how to build the userland bits should be preferred and make the packaging task painless.

On the other hand, some distributions provide user-repositories facilities, which would seem more appropriate in this case, maybe we should look in that direction?
