Hi Guys,
My first post on the group, so wanted to say Hi to everyone before I jump to the question/request for advice.
Little bit of background:
I'm planning a migration from FreeNAS over to OviOS. As my setup is virtualized I need to be able to automatically shut down guest OS via ACPI call or guest-agent in case of power failure UPS will send a signal to host to shut down. I want to avoid forcibly stopping guest system.
I understand that in a server room dropping accidental ACPI signals might be beneficial, but for my use case handling them or a qemu-guest integration would be desirable.
I've seen in the docs that in order to install additional package you should compile it. I get it and actually was trying last week to compile qemu-guest-agent and got int some dependency issues. and dropped for now. Tried to compile acpid as this would also solve the issue, but stopped at ./configure. In both cases I would need to compile additional dependencies to get it working. Definitely achievable, but I was wondering if there is a pacman repo that I could just use to install what I need and get an easy way out of dependency hell ;).
If there is a better way of doing it?
Thanks in advance for any responses,
Marcin
