Xen devel - Mar 2006 - 3.0.2 imminent

Folks,

Rumour has it that 2.6.16 final is going to be released in the next few
days, which is one of the main prerequisities for rolling a 3.0.2 Xen
release. I hope we can get the release out shortly afterward. 

Here''s a list of what I think needs to be done. If you''re
aware of other
high-priority bugs/issues please shout:

 * checkin 2.6.16 final
 * integrate final version of xml-rpc patch (despite being quite big, I
regard this as relatively low risk as we have good test coverage with
xm-test)
 * track down the "time went backward" issue introduced by the
block-time accounting patch. 
 * hvm occasional network rx packet corruption bug (pcnet32 emulation)

It would be great if people could start giving -unstable some heavy duty
testing over the next few days so we can make this a great release.

NB: We really need to make a concerted effort to clean up bugilla. I
browsed a sample of open issues and I believe many have already been
fixed (though I have yet to verify). As a general plea to all
developers, lets try and get the bugilla database cleaned up so that its
more useful again as a tool. I know some folks prefer working just from
the mailing list, but the ''history'' that bugzilla provides is
useful for
issues that don''t get cleared up straight away.


Best,
Ian

Slashdot tells me that 2.6.16 has now been released!

Will the default kernel config for 3.0.2 include ocfs2? I''m interested
in trying that under xen...

If anyone has done this before I''d be interested in comparing notes. I
think the best way to proceed is:

Dom0 uses AoE to see the shared storage, and lvm to partition it
DomU sees the shared block device and runs ocfs2.

Thanks

James
