At long last, I've got some beta CentOS 6 4.4.1 packages up on the CBS.
Great!
Major updates include:
- Update to Xen 4.4.1. Also includes all XSAs through 114
- Update to latest blktap 2.5
- Updated libvirt packages (1.2.10), which work well with libxl
To use, add the following to a file in /etc/yum.repos.d:
[virt-testing] name=CentOS-$releasever - virt-testing baseurl=http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-testing/$basearch/os/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1
Notes:
- git repo with all the changes to xen can be found here:
https://github.com/gwd/sig-virt-xen out/virt6/update-4.4.1-4
The signing infrastructure is not in place, so the binaries are not signed.
xend is now disabled by default. You can enable it by running
chkconfig. xend has been removed from the tree entirely in Xen 4.5, so this should (hopefully) serve as a "wake-up-call" for people to begin the transition over to xend.
- A lot have things have changed -- please to test this so we can get
a good idea what may have broken.
I'll test soon. Thanks a lot!
Oh and sorry that I couldn't make it to the Virt SIG call today, I was busy/offline..
