Hi All; I can''t find any related discussion on list archives so i just want to learn could anybody tell me is there any specific reason not to upgrade xen-3.0.4-testing tree to for example 2.6.16.38 which fixes dozens of security related problems after .33, i know as a distro packager its my responsibility to sync/modify whatever is needed but as an end-user perspective i just want to download the newly released stable tarball and use my xen powered kernel. And i realize mainline inclusion solves all that issues but is it possible to maintain testing trees against its most recent stable version to solve these problems until xen merged into mainline and releasing minor version against them or am i have to learn live with that :)?

We should update 3.0.4-testing too. Ian _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
