Hello,
A couple of TODO items/suggestions:
Xen 4.2.4 was just released: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/msg01624.html
I think we should first update Xen4Centos6 rpms to Xen 4.2.4 to have a "known good" release from the stable branch currently in use in Xen4Centos6.
After that, we should start packaging/testing Xen 4.3.2: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/msg01622.html
Xen 4.3 brings much improved XL toolstack in addition to a lot of other changes/fixes.
my understanding was that we might skip 4.3, and rebase from 4.2 to 4.4 once that hits the released path
I am OK with either path, although my understanding is 4.2 => 4.4 as well.
Yep. Let's see when Xen 4.4 gets released.
Shall we start with the first step, which is upgrading to Xen 4.2.4? :)
- After updating to Xen 4.3.2 rpms start troubleshooting/debugging the libvirt libxl driver and get it working with Xen4Centos6 system..
I believe Dario Faggioli has some of this ironed out already. Dario are you on the centos-virt list ?
WRT the libvirt, libxl issues (and other libvirt things as well) ... I am fairly sure both OpenShift Origin and RDO are going to need a newer version of libvirt ... maybe we should start testing to try and get a newer version of libvirt in this stack as well (and use the same version on all 3 projects).
The current version of libvirt is close enough to the main CentOS version that virt-manager and other pieces of the current main stack works .. a newer libvirt will likely also mean recompiling or newer versions of other pieces as well.
Yeah.. I think the latest upstream libvirt libxl driver requires some libxl fixes which are only in Xen 4.4.
