The CentOS VIrtualization Special Interest Group wants to remind everyone that the End of Life for the Xen-4.4 branch (currently 4.4.4-19) will be March 31st, 2017. This is because the Xen Project will no longer support Xen-4.4 after that date, based on this link: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features Xen-4.6 is still available and will be maintained until October 2018 (on both CentOS-6 and CentOS-7) and Xen-4.8 will be available soon.

...e getting any more point releases, but it should continue to get XSAs through March 2017. (This table [2] has it ending in March 2016, but I'm pretty sure that's a mistake.) -George [1] http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Maintenance_Releases [2] http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features

Just a heads-up -- 4.6.3-2, for both CentOS 7 and CentOS 6, are making their way through the build system now and should be in the mirrors hopefully sometime later this afternoon. These contain patches for XSAs 185-188, one of which is a fairly critical update, so please update as soon as they're available. -George

...ers. In any event, the updates we release come from here: https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/ When they release an XSA, we incorporate it and do a new release. Support for older releases will be done (currently by only me .. volunteers welcome) based on this schedule: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features So, we will support 4.4 on CentOS-6 until 'March 2017' and 4.6 on CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 until 'Oct 2018 '. When the xen project stops supporting a version, we will also stop supporting it. > On 02/17/2017 09:51 AM, Johnny Hughes wrote: >> These updates have now bee...

Given the circumstances, might it make sense to offer formal advisories of some type for these to indicate when the packages going to live are for security or other reasons?

Greeting, We are about to update the centos-release-xen package to point to Xen 4.8 rather than 4.6. I'll push the update next week. As a reminder, you can "pin" your installation to Xen 4.6 by installing centos-release-xen-46 and then removing centos-release-xen. And for the more adventurous, that update will come with a new package centos-release-xen-410 to install Xen 4.10.

This is a community SIG .. and xenproject.org does NOT release XSAs for 4.2. The goal of Xen4centOS was to use an upstream LTS kernel and update those as required to stay on an LTS. Also to do every second point release of xen (ie, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6). All so we are longer term than upstream, BUT we have supported code from upstream. So, the goal is to use supported code for the longest amount of
