It is a CentOS 6.5-based dom0, with Xapi as a toolstack and qemu-traditional for device model. It is based on staging, which is a good enough approximation to -rc1 for testing purposes. The following bugs are present in -rc1, but have fixes already present in staging. * Specifying a LIBXL_API_VERSION causes a build failure in libxl_uuid.h (fixed by c/s 67d95d0) * Migrating windows VMs from older versions of Xen fails (fixed by c/s 66d0c0a) The following bugs are present in -rc1 and are not fixed in current staging. Patches fixing each of these are on xen-devel. * pygrub can't parse grub1 config files (1414425614-43267-1-git-send-email-simon.rowe@eu.citrix.com) * TOCTOU race in pygrub (1414591781-19376-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com) For future testing, we hope to run more thorough tests. Most of my allocated time this time around was taken adjusting XenServer for the change in install path for most of the Xen utilities, given the recent ./configure improvements and standardisations. ~Andrew
