Hey all,
In order to make sure SIG content is "fresh", whenever a new version of CentOS comes out, content is discarded automatically unless SIG chairs specifically request it to be moved over.
At the moment, Xen has three repos that are under consideration to be moved up:
virt/x86_64/xen-46 virt/x86_64/xen-48 virt/x86_64/xen-410
I'll request xen-48 and xen-410 to be updated for sure, but I wanted to gauge how much interest there was in xen-46. If you have strong feelings about xen-46, let me know (and perhaps consider volunteering to maintain the packages).
It seems currently "centos-release-xen" package is broken in CentOS7, it points to xen-46 repo, which isn't available anymore in CentOS 7.6:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/
-> xen-48/ -> xen-410/# yum clean all # yum search centos-release-xen .. centos-release-xen.x86_64 : CentOS Virt SIG Xen repo configs centos-release-xen-48.x86_64 : CentOS Virt Sig Xen repo configs for Xen 4.8 centos-release-xen-common.x86_64 : CentOS Virt Sig Xen support files ..
# yum install centos-release-xen # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Xen.repo
# CentOS-Xen.repo # # Please see http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/Xen4 for more # information

I guess two things should happen in CentOS7:
- Publish centos-release-xen-410 package
Ah, actually it's there already in xen-48 and xen-410 dirs, but not in CentOS extras.
- Update centos-release-xen package to point to.. 410 ?
So it seems the "centos-release-xen" package in "extras" repo has the xen-46 reference in it. So we should update the package in extras.
Sorry, missed this -- yes, we've been trying to get the powers that be to update it for some time; we did finally manage to get it updated a week or two ago. Could you give it a try now?
