Hey Ian, I was curious if there''s an estimation on when 3.0-testing is going to be declared? Is there a list of things that are outstanding before it will happen?

We''ve been operating in ''testing'' mode for some time, working our way through the issues that are reported (and the ones that our extensive regression test infrastructure ''XenRT'' picks up). Many of the oustanding issues are to do with the wide variety of hardware platforms xen is run on. To this end Dan/Chris/Tim have worked over the summer to create an automated ''test CD''. The CD is by no means as extensive as XenRT, but is targeted specifically to find h/w platform issues (does it boot, does network work, video, disks etc). We''ll officially release the CD as soon as there are no platform-related issues on any of the machines we have access to (which is a fair range). We''re quite close to that. As regards when we release 3.0.0, I''d expect to see solid rows of green ''pass'' boxes on XenRT, and a set of control tools that work robustly.

It had seemed like we had been operating in testing mode :-)I guess the follow up question is what is the freeze process for Xen 3.0 going to be, as even in testing state lots of code is going in which is regressing some previously working features.> >Many of the oustanding issues are to do with the wide variety of > >hardware platforms xen is run on.

It would be nice to see those colored boxes to know how close we are. :) -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.

We''ve been operating in ''testing'' mode for some time,Do you have any sort of list of features/bugs that you are tracking? Also, do you have a list of your criteria for when 3.0 testing is ready for release? This sort of information and status would help us understand where our efforts should be focused.> working our way through the issues that are reported (and the ones that > our extensive regression test infrastructure ''XenRT'' picks up).XenRT? First I''ve heard of this. Is it available? source? status? output? Anything on the wiki?> Many of the oustanding issues are to do with the wide variety of > hardware platforms xen is run on.

Even if they are fixed right away, it is nice to have a record of issues that were encountered. I''d also be interested in seen what range of hw you guys are testing over as well. -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx (512) 838-9253 T/L: 678-9253 ryanh@us.ibm.com _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Any chance in getting the data exported via xml or the like? The GUI is pretty and all, but it overfills my screen in many directions and there is some data I''d like to consolodate out of it without having to write a screen scraper. :) -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.

The most immediate need is to have a larger set of typical queries on the front page e.g. "all results from changesets in the last 48h". We also need to get more machines on-line running nightly tests, and fill in some of the currently missing tests.

Any way to contribute to filling in the missing tests? -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx (512) 838-9253 T/L: 678-9253 ryanh@us.ibm.com _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
