I have a 5.1 system with Xen installed. The package says 3.0.3, but an 'xm info' shows 3.1. So what is it? Is it 3.0.3 patched to 3.1 or is it 3.1 packaged as 3.0.3? And if it's the former, does anybody have any idea why upstream wouldn't just deploy 3.1 (now 3.1.2) which is more stable? -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

The 3.1.x might occur as a technology preview in 5.2 but only after making sure that an overnight update isnt going to break someones 10k Xen box hosting site.> -Ross > > > ________________________________ > This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the > addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or > confidential information.
