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
Hmm, I'm not sure if skipping 4.3 is a good idea..
I believe the following distros/products are (or will be) shipping Xen 4.3:
- Next version of XenServer
We have been testing the 4.4 RCs in XenServer and it is likely that we will switch to using 4.4 soon after its release.
David,
Is this the proper qemu-xen snapshot to use for xen-4.2.4 ?
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=qemu-upstream-4.2-testing.git;a=commit;h=6d...
It seems to have the qemu-xen-4.2.4 tag, so yes, it's the one. You can also always fetch the xen 4.2.4 tarball and compare to it (it includes the qemu bits aswell).
Do we need any other patches in that?
Not that i'm aware of.. did we have any extra qemu patches on top of 4.2.3 ?
Also, we are currently using blktap-9960138790b9d3610b12acd153bba20235efa4f5.tar.gz .. is that still the best version to use?
David has to answer that..
