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 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Fedora 20 - OpenSuse 13.1
It's obviously easier to live, troubleshoot and apply/backport important fixes when there are multiple parties doing it for the same(ish) codebase and sharing experiences :)
- 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 ?
OK.
