similar to: Xen-4.4 branch End of Life

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

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

Just a message to remind everyone that CentOS-5 has an End of Life date of March 31, 2017. This means that there will be no new security updates released by Red Hat for RHEL-5 after that date. Sometime in early April, the current 5.11 tree will be moved onto vault.centos.org (like CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 have been since their EOL).

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?

My comment was targeted more at naming than support. I appreciate that there are vanishingly few resources to throw at support. I am glad to see any xen support for C7 and am thankful of all those who are putting in time to make things happen. I try to help out when I can but it is all too infrequently.

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.

Hello, I posted a question over at xenproject.org but it was recommended that I send out a message here for help. My post there: http://www.xenproject.org/help/questions-and-answers/vanilla-pv-centos-guest-via-kickstart-centos-6-6,-xen-4-4.html The TL;DR is: Everything I've found to kickstart a new vanilla rhel/centos guest points to specifying a kernel & and initrd- for RHEL/Centos 5.

This information will be mirrored on the Xen 4.4 Roadmap wiki page: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Roadmap/4.4 Our timeline had us start the code freeze last Friday. However, we have not released an RC0 because we have been waiting for PVH dom0 support. Adding bug fixes during RCs makes sense, but RC0 should contain all of the functionality we expect to be in the final release. PVH dom0 support

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

Hi, I am very sorry to do this on short notice, but obviously Meltdown and Spectre are a lot more than anyone was really expecting to come down the pipeline. Xen 4.4 has been EOL upstream for about a year now and I have personally been reviewing and backporting patches based on the 4.5 versions made available upstream. Given that 4.5 is now also reaching EOL, backporting to 4.4 will become
