this together with mirage-qubes 0.9.5 and xenstore 2.3.0 (both waiting on being merged to opam-repository) reduces the binary size of the firewall to 3.4MB. I'll update this PR once the above packages have been merged to opam-repository, and then update the checksum and call it ready :)

[palainp]

Thank you! I propose to update Dockerfile once opam-repository PRs will be merged and merge both PRs into main. And sadly I see I conflicted build-with.sh when I removed the space before the hashsum :(

[hannesm]

Sounds good to me, I just force-pushed to remove the update of the hash here. Once opam-repository is fine, we can do as you suggested.

[hannesm]

Thanks to @dinosaure who merged the outstanding opam-repository PRs, I pushed an update to the opam-repo commit and wait for the checksum to materialize.

[palainp]

Thank you that's perfect!

[hannesm]

and CI is green, so feel free to cut a release when you feel like doing so :)

[palainp]

I'll run a couple of local tests and cut the new release. Thank you @hannesm

Oups I got:

[2024-05-09 15:15:11] Fatal error: exception File "duniverse/mirage-net-xen/lib/tX.ml", line 118, characters 9-15: Assertion failed

duniverse/mirage-net-xen/lib/tX.ml:118 is:

let total_size = max Request.sizeof_req Response.sizeof_resp
let () = assert(total_size = 12)

And Request.sizeof_req = 10 and Response.sizeof_resp=4, I missed that :(

[palainp]

Appart from that issue (locally fixed by hand), all went well. So once the new release is merged in opam-repository, it should be ok to cut the release :)

[hannesm]

waiting for ocaml/opam-repository#25823, thanks for your testing and investigations! :)

[hannesm]

Dear @palainp, this is now updated to mirage-net-xen 2.1.5. Please feel free to test and merge and release :)

[palainp]

Thank you, all is fine!
