Hi list!
Is xen 2.0.8 with 2.6.12 support going to be released anytime soon?
xen-2.0-testing with 2.6.12 seems to work OK at least for me..
And we already have 2.6.13 available, and 2.6.14 soon.. is xen 2.0 going to
be maintained still, or is all effort going to xen 3.0 ?
Thanks!

The major delay right now is that most people are working on trying to get 3.0.0 out the door which doesn''t leave a lot of time for 2.x! It''s good to get reports like your which demonstrate that things seem to work well.> And we already have 2.6.13 available, and 2.6.14 soon.. is xen 2.0 going to > be maintained still, or is all effort going to xen 3.0 ?Most effort is going to xen 3.0 ; in addition, we''re moving towards a model where the linux parts of xen (i.e. the bits currently in the "sparse trees") will be pushed upstream. A lot of people are working on this (see e.g. the xen-merge mailing list, or the mercurial repository at http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6-xen.hg) However it is unlikely that this same work will support xen 2.x, at least initially. cheers, S. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I''m currently trying to get working netbsd and freebsd sparse trees. A documented functionlist would make this much more easier. :) Thanks in advance, Stephan Seitz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDTjde0MKSfkbzHDYRAmDGAKCW058e4SMCIQ4JDiFeP2oKMpocdwCfR2gC g7gmxBW+vv4J1tDmTfdXvf0=t8dj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Any progress with this? Latest change in xen-2.0-testing branch seems to be 2 months ago.. Newer kernel (2.6.14) would be also needed for Debian xen packages.. -- Pasi Kärkkäinen ^ . .

Instead of shipping a plain patch, like any other kernel-patch.deb, I''ll be shipping the sparse tree, with a custom(for debian) patch application script. Then, it''s up to the user to get the correct kernel source version. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
