3.1.1 RC4?

3.1.1 RC4?

[Ben Guthro]

Keir,

I noticed that a Shadow patch went into the 3.1.1 staging tree today.
Does this mean that we should expect a 4th release candidate before the 
3.1.1 release tag is official?

If so - how much testing time are you going to give that release 
candidate before deciding whether a release tag, or another RC round is 
appropriate?

Actually I don't plan to do another -rc round just for that one. It's an
obvious bug fix.

Maybe you will or have to for security reasons:

1) has been fixed,  2) 3) and 4) are qemu related and impact
Xen through ioemu in the tools.

2) is fixed by 14914. 3) and 4) are fixed by 15447. Both changesets are in
-rc3.

Ah, good to know. Thanks for the information. Now we only need the
final Xen 3.1.1 release to actually happen :)

That'll be this week, assuming no deluge of patches triggering another -rc
round. And it'll be source-only, at least in the first instance until we
find time to build, test and publish binary packages.
