I have to spit out a rant about this!

In the meantime, 3.0.2 seems to be available on xensource.com, also. But 
it wasn't at the time of this thread - I've also been looking for it, 
just didn't loolk oin the uk site.

The last, 3.0.1 release was not available at that .uk site.
Now it seems to be the contrary - the U.K site only had olde rpackages 
but xensources had new ones.

I think it would be really useful if the xen developers uk and xensource 
will start getting their distribution policies a bit more synced. Or 
maybe even one of these two websites closed so they don't need to be 
snced anymore.

That is confusing people a lot. If you try to get started with xen you 
are completely confused and it really takes a lot of time to find out 
where to get the newest version and where to find an appropriate 
tutorial. (Often the tutorials available in public don't tell for which 
version of the host/guest oses and version of xen they are written for).

The latter ist not xen developers fault, but the former seems to be. 
That doesn't mean I don't honour wour work, but it could be much easier 
for users to get started if this where a bit clearer. Like it is 
currently, you simply don't know which of the two sites is the "real" 
main website for xen.

Also confusing, if you want the xen sources tarball, you need to go to 
the xensource.com download page, the click on "pre built binary 
tarballs"  and the there's a link to a source package.
That's not exactly what helps people getting sterted with xen.

In case anyone *still* is looking for the source for 3.0.2, here are links:
[text of email message follows]

Thanks for your interest in Xen!

You requested a download of a binary tarball with the Xen hypervisor.  
The tarball contains compiled Xen binaries.  As an expert user, you can 
manually install the binaries in the correct locations on your Linux system, 
to install a Xen host and guests.

This download has been built from the Xen 3.0.2 open source community code base. 
It has undergone very limited testing, is not supported in any way whatsoever, and 
will be fixed on a best-effort basis only.

Downloading or installing any of these tarballs constitutes an acknowledgement and 
acceptance of the warranty disclaimer and copyright information at the bottom of this email.
