This release candidate contains many fixes since -rc1: * Latest changesets from PPC and IA64 development trees * Several HVM bug fixes * Tools enhancements and bug fixes RC2 is a serious candidate for final release, so please test and let us know if we have more bugs to fix! -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Since 3.0.4 fixed the HVM VNC server to be secure it would be pity to release new PV FB without same level of security. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-12/msg00176.html Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Is it OK to drop that?My default action will be to remove -Wpacked just in the 3.0.4 stable branch (so it''ll remain in xen-unstable) and then work out a better long-term fix. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

FYI: The ELF note code in 3.0.4-rc3 is still most likely broken on x86_64. Can you please make sure the fix gets included in next release candidate so I can run my tests? / magnus _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Re: [Xen-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Xen 3.0.4 release candidate 2
I didn''t pay much attention to the lengthy "packed" discussions of the past. From a quick Google, it looks like the issues are that packed doesn''t work on Plan 9, and compounds an already bad situation on PowerPC when Xen requires us to fake 16-bit atomic accesses. -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center On Mon, 2006-12-18 at 16:31 +0000, Ian Campbell wrote:> On Mon, 2006-12-18 at 21:48 +0900, Magnus Damm wrote: > > The ELF notes for kexec / kdump are screwed up on x86_64. > > That was due to 12977:af39d20b2b728941421ef18e5c5b1012852eec80[0] which > I have now reverted.
