xen discuss - Jun 2007 - Re: [brandz-discuss] Re: BrandZ, Xen and Chime for Solaris 10 U3 ?

Xen will not be in update 4.  We are pushing towards integrating into
Nevada sometime this summer.

We''re actively working on getting another release out to OpenSolaris. 
I
have my latest attempt at building an ISO image spinning in another window
right now.

This new release will be based on Nevada build 66.  It''s been a
ridiculously long time since our last release, and I apologize for that.
Due to the logistics involved and the upcoming US holiday, it''s
unlikely
that this will make it to the web site before the second week in July.

As soon as it''s available, we''ll send an announcement to
xen-disuss and
osol-announce.

Hi,

I don''t understand that quote. Will there be continued seperate special
releases? Or will we find Xen support in the project trunk from some point on in
summer?

Thanks!

Well, this really means that we are trying to get Xen integrated into a 
build of Nevada, and at some point we will backport Xen to a Solaris 10 
Update.

Does this make more sense now?

This should be the last special release.  "integrating into Nevada"
means
that Xen will be incorporated into the standard Solaris source tree.

Hello Nils,

Can you share a status update to the Nevada build 66 (with Xen support) 
discussed below?

Thank you,

Jerry K
