Hi list! xen-3.0.3-1.fc6.i386.rpm seems to be in updates-testing for FC6. Are there other xen updates planned for FC6.. ie. is 3.0.4 (or even 3.0.5) going to packaged for FC6? Thanks. -- Pasi

Until released its premature to say that we''ll release them as FC6 updates. As with most Xen updates, 3.0.4 is painful because we''ll need to upgrade the complete hypervisor, kernel & userspace stack all in one go.... yet again.... because of ABI changes between HV & userspace. There have also been many control stack changes in the userspace of 3.0.4 which need extensive testing before allowing them anywhere near FC6. So /if/ 3.0.4 becomes available for FC6, it''ll only be after a decent spell of stabalization & testing in rawhide. 3.0.5 is anybody''s guess because there''s no clear timeline for it & no really firm development roadmap from upstream Xen yet.
