similar to: Xen 4.4.2 (with XSA-132) in virt6-testing

I've got Xen 4.4.2 in virt6-testing. I haven't had a chance to test it, and won't for another week or two; but if some volunteers can put it through its paces, I can ask Johnny to push it to the public repo sometome early next week. Thanks, -George

Thanks to work from Johnny, linux 3.18.12 with all the x4c blktap goodness have been built and are now in the virt6-testing repo. I've also uploaded libvirt 1.2.15. As you may have seen earlier today, virt6-testing also includes an updated 4.4.2 package with the latest security update (XSA-133). The kernel has had some basic testing (by myself, Johnny, and another community member), but

So first of all, if you've used the CBS before, please note the name change -- it's no longer virt6-testing, but virt6-xen-44-testing. Easiest way to install: rpm -ivh http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-xen-44-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-xen-7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm This will set up yum repositories for both the eventual release repositories (enabled by default), and the

George has built and I have pushed to virt6-xen-common-testing and virt7-xen-common-testing the kernel-3.18.25-19 kernel. Please test this kernel and we can release it. It also has the fix for XSA-171: http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-171.html Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

At long last, I've got some beta CentOS 6 4.4.1 packages up on the CBS. Major updates include: * Update to Xen 4.4.1. Also includes all XSAs through 114 * Update to latest blktap 2.5 * Updated libvirt packages (1.2.10), which work well with libxl To use, add the following to a file in /etc/yum.repos.d: [virt-testing] name=CentOS-$releasever - virt-testing

The Xen Project has publicly released XSA-138: http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-138.html All users using HVM (fully virtualized) guests with emulated CDROM drives are advised to upgrade. There are signed versions of Xen4CentOS6 packages uploaded to the mirror system. There are also unsigned packages available on the CBS: http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt6-testing/x86_64/os/Packages/

xen 4.6.1-5 has been build and should be available in buildlogs soon (available via the centos-virt-xen-testing repo). More information can be found here: http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-172.html A signed copy should hit the mirrors tomorrow. Please report any problems on this list. Thanks, -George

KB and I were looking at repositories to import into git.centos.org recently, and we found the e1000e package -- a rebuild of the Intel e1000 driver for the x4c kernel. Does anyone know if this externally-build module is still necesssary for Linux 3.10? Or for Linux 3.14, which we're planning on moving to at some point in the near future? -George

George, Just an FYI - I tried to run the rpm command and none of the repos showed up enabled by default. I tried enabling them manually, but I get this error: One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 - xen), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: ...

All, I have compiled an experimental 3.18.12 kernel from the 3.18 LTS kernel branch from kernel.org for the Xen4Centos 6 tree. http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/xen-kernel/x86_64/ This should be considered extremely experimental at this point and is unsigned. I have tested it on 2 generic servers and it worked fine on both of those with sata and gigabit ethernet. Please test this and provide

The following have been added to the virt6-xen-44-testing repo: x86_64: kernel-3.18.21-13.el6.x86_64 kernel-devel-3.18.21-13.el6.x86_64 kernel-firmware-3.18.21-13.el6.noarch kernel-headers-3.18.21-13.el6.x86_64 perf-3.18.21-13.el6.x86_64 src: kernel-3.18.21-13.el6.x86_64 Please test these for a week or so and we will move them into production next week. I am also building this kernel into

All, I have upgraded xen-44 from Xen-4.4.3 to Xen-4.4.4 (and placed the resulting RPMs from xen-4.4.4-2.el6.src.rpm into virt6-xen-44-testing). These RPMs have all the latest updates that were rolled into the xen-4.4.3-14.el6.src.rpm packages (through XSA-172 updates). Here is how to test: 1. If you want this box to always have 'testing' enabled for xen-44 .. do this: Edit

Yes, that's because the CBS is is not meant to be for production use, but only for building and testing. This is for two reasons: 1. The CBS itself is not mirrored, nor provisioned for

George, Ack and understood. Makes perfect sense... Thanks! On Wed, 9 Sep 2015, George Dunlap wrote: > On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 6:48 PM, Scot P.
