Agreed on this too .. let's use as much the same as we can, and we can use %if statements in the SPEC to differentiate el6 and el7 things, if necessary. systemd versus init and maybe some version number changes for buildrequires should be the changes we need to be concerned about.
Yep!
We can try to take the RH 3.10 el7 kernel, mod it for xen, and use it .. or we can shift to 3.14.x and that buys us at least one more year .. or wait until they name the next LTS kernel and go for that. Likely the next LTS kernel will be the easiest option (the RH modified kernel will not support xen and rolling in stuff externally will be hard because of the backports RH does to the kernel (things that go into a standard kernel will not apply cleanly to the RH kernel).
But, I agree lets try to use the el6 kernel for xen el7 too .. and we can switch both kernels as required later.
Yeah we're not in a hurry with the dom0 kernel. Current Linux 3.10.x seems to work fine atm.
Let's focus on getting the current rpms built for el7, and then later we can update both el6 and el7 to later kernel/versions.
So.. how do we get the Xen 4.4.1 rpms port to el7 going.. ? :)
