3.0.2 has been forked from -unstable into -testing, where it is
undergoing final testing before release. 

[I happen to know that the process got stalled because a regression has
been detected, so the release won''t happen today.]

I have noticed that the 3.0.2 release candidate tree/repository is obviously 
not the one available as 3.0-testing on the XenSource website. Is it 
available for public consumption anywhere? Guessing from some emails, I 
think that you are applying bugfixes to that -testing repo, no? I would like 
to test this rc before release, but without access to it, I am limited to 
what is available in xen-unstable.

Best Regards,
Michael Paesold

We have a ''rolling'' release process in which bugfixes will be
applied
to the 3.0.2 branch even after an initial release is declared. So even 
after we have pushed ''3.0.2'' out to the public tree, public
testing,
bug reports and bug fixes will be very welcome.

Currently I would estimate we''ll make the tree public tomorrow: we want
to do one more full regression-testing run, and also do a full workout 
of older domU kernels (3.0.0 and 3.0.1) on 3.0.2 to ensure we have 
maintained full backward compatibility.

I have already learned about the general release process here, now I have a 
name for it, too. ;-)

Ah, thanks for the quick heads up. Btw. I appreciate your extensive testing, 
thanks!
