Hallo xen-users!
When does a newer sources-version appear?
Version 3.0.4 released at 3 months ago (08.01.2007) and support
very old Kernel (linux-2.6.16.33 04.2006) only.
New SATA driver is only contained >= 2.6.19.
Can i hope to linux-2.6.20 at March 2008?
Is planned the admission into the linux-kernel,
so that the kernel-patch is void?
<ot>
my release notes
- 3.0.4_1 (to 070302.xen-3.0.4)
- any Dir/File-names contain "_", another "-". very
confused...
- the topdir is xen-$VERxen-src now, was xen-$VERxen.
Does it have a reason?
</ot>
regards Torsten

The current unstable uses 2.6.18. Unstable will become 3.0.5 in the next couple of weeks (I don''t know the exact bits that are missing, but it''s Xen Summit right now, so I expect it to be soon after Xen Summit finishes). Once Unstable is free for any patches, I expect that the next release will be using a newer kernel again. One of the problems with using the very latest "bleeding edge" kernel is that it can be unstable, so Xen generally uses the "nearly newest" kernel, as that''s the one that has reasonable stability. -- Mats> > Is planned the admission into the linux-kernel, > so that the kernel-patch is void? > > <ot> > my release notes > - 3.0.4_1 (to 070302.xen-3.0.4) > - any Dir/File-names contain "_", another "-". very confused... > - the topdir is xen-$VERxen-src now, was xen-$VERxen. > Does it have a reason? > </ot> > > regards Torsten > > > > > -- > Torsten lehmann > LauNOC > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

That''s roughly 4 months between releases -- Mats> > > > regards Torsten > LAUNOC > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
You could check some distributions. I believe that Debian 4 and Red Hat EL5 both ship 2.6.18 based xen kernels, and I believe Fedora 7 (not yet released) has a 2.6.20 xen kernel in testing. It is possible to pull out the patch, at least from the SRPMs, and use that with the 3.0.4 xen source files. I can''t say how stable that would be though. Anyone have any ideas about that?
