which Dom0 should I use in my regular testing?

which Dom0 should I use in my regular testing?

[Ren, Yongjie]

Hi Jackson,
Our team spares some effort in regular testing against xen-unstable tree.
I know you are doing some testing against xen.
Which Dom0 are you using in your oss test, Konrad's xen.git or upstream linux.git ?
And which Dom0 do you recommend in my regular testing?
(Not sure you are the right person for this question? :-) )

Best Regards,
     Yongjie (Jay)

Sorry, ping... 
Any suggestions?  Also CC Ian Campbell for suggestion.

I think the latest kernel from upstream's stable series would be a
reasonable basis for testing xen on.

I think the upstream Linux 'stable' series is 3.0.x currently? 

Linux 3.4.x is the first kernel with Xen ACPI cpufreq / power management patches included,
so it makes sense to use 3.4+ ?

No, that is "longterm". Stable is always a branch of the most recent
release from Linus, it seems to be 3.3.7 right now but there will no
doubt be a 3.4.1 quite soon. Sticking with the previous version until
3.4.1 or 3.4.2 might be wise.

I'm assuming here that the primary aim is to test Xen and not
necessarily to test dom0 directly. If one wants to explicitly test dom0
then running Linus' tree (on a known good Xen baseline) seems like the
right answer.

Yongjie didn't express any interest in a particular feature, so my
advice was more general.

Yeah, can't agree more. We also want to focus on Xen testing not dom0 stuff.

Sorry, We're interested in PM feature, so I'm using 3.4+ now.
My draft plan is to use 3.4.1 when available, then will keep it constant until next stable kernel (e.g. 3.4.2) is released.
I'll also discuss with our internal persons and make final decision.

I am testing against Xen 4.1 and everynight latest Linus's tree.

I am using Linus' tree everynight. And then whenever I've new patches
I use my #testing or just do

git checkout linus/master
git merge stable/XXX
and test that out.

Uhhh? You mean distro?

Thanks for your sharing.

Not exactly. I want to choose a dom0 to keep pace with our community.
I test xen-unstable tree every night when there's new changesets.
