Xen users - Jan 2006 - Backports to 3.0-testing and/or 3.0.1 soon?

I am noticing many bug fixes, code cleanups, and improvements being 
committed to -unstable over the past few weeks and little or no commits 
to 3.0-testing.

Is a back port of some of these to 3.0-testing expected to happen soon? 
  I am almost tempted to try running -unstable, but I see much has 
changed regarding XenStore, udev, etc and don''t want to risk completely
destroying one of our beta servers.

It seems futile to keep submitting bug reports for the developers 
against 3.0-testing when many of these bugs may well be and/or are 
resolved in -unstable.

Thank you,
Matt Ayres

We''re not planning on backporting stuff into 3.0.0.x -- we''ll
stabilise
the tree and do a 3.0.1.0 release in maybe 2-4 weeks time.

Ian,

Isn''t the 3.0-testing tree meant to for users who want to test new
fixes
  before a release is made and to accelerate and refine the QA process? 
  If there are no back ports before a release then there is no point to 
a 3.0-testing tree.

Thank you,
Matt Ayres

We''re backporting *bug fixes* into 3.0-testing (which will be released
as 3.0.0.x), not new features.

At some point in the next few weeks we''ll sweep -unstable into
3.0-testing and gear up for a 3.0.1 release.

xen-unstable changesets 8279:4480e22f2ef2 and 8280:08c0861679ce
fix bug 467.  Will those be added into 3.0-testing?

I''ve mostly only been pushing more critical bug fixes to xen-3.0- 
testing, so I wasn''t planning on adding these.  I don''t think
mkpatches is widely used or that critical, so it probably wouldn''t  
hurt to add these patches if you really want them.
