CentOS virt - Feb 2014 - Xen updates / TODO

Hello,

A couple of TODO items/suggestions:

1) Xen 4.2.4 was just released:
   http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/msg01624.html

   I think we should first update Xen4Centos6 rpms to Xen 4.2.4 
   to have a "known good" release from the stable branch currently in
use in Xen4Centos6.


2) After that, we should start packaging/testing Xen 4.3.2:
   http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/msg01622.html

   Xen 4.3 brings much improved XL toolstack in addition to a lot of other
changes/fixes.


3) After updating to Xen 4.3.2 rpms start troubleshooting/debugging the libvirt
libxl driver
   and get it working with Xen4Centos6 system..


How does that sound like? :)

my understanding was that we might skip 4.3, and rebase from 4.2 to 4.4
once that hits the released path

I believe Dario Faggioli has some of this ironed out already. Dario are
you on the centos-virt list ?
