Xen 3.0.1 plans? xen-3.0-testing status?

[Pasi Kärkkäinen]

Hi list!

What are the plans for xen 3.0.1 release? Is support for 2.6.14 (or even better, 2.6.15)
going to be added?

What's the state of xen-3.0-testing? Is it working OK for you? Better
than 3.0.0 ? Please post your comments!

3.0-testing has a number of bug fixes in it over 3.0.0 -- it should definitely be used in preference to 3.0.0. It's effectively a 3.0.0.x series.

If you want 2.6.14 you can use the xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6-xen.hg tree. This will be pulled into -unstable.hg soon.

If you want the very latest bleeding edge 2.6.15-rc7, look at xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6-merge.hg

Ah the world of open source... where anything tagged 'stable' probably shouldn't be used because it is either a) too old, or b) too buggy.

But we wouldn't have it any other way.

Maybe that memory leak which crashes my dom0 has been fixed... I'll have to give -testing a go.

3.0-testing is nice. There have not been many backports to it lately 
from -unstable.  I know a patch I received from Ian that fixes issues 
with 3ware cards is not even on -unstable, I had hoped it'd be in 
3.0-testing by now.

I'm half-considering just running -unstable util 3.0.2/3 so I get the 
latest fixes :)

The fix has been in -unstable for a fortnight (changeset 8392 "Work 
aroudn swiotlb issue...").

Thank you for the correction.  I am on the changebot list,  but seem to 
have missed that one.

Yep. And most people seem to agree that 3.0-testing is currently more stable
than 3.0.0 release.
