I''m pleased to announce the availability of Xen 3.1.1 -- a bugfix release in the Xen 3.1 series. Many bugs, large and small, are fixed by this release and we recommend that all users and vendors upgrade. The source repository is available using mercurial from: http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.1-testing.hg Binary packages have not yet been prepared for this release. Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

I ask because I''m about to push this release into Gentoo and it would be nice to avoid rolling my own tarball for now and then later having to update URLs and package digests once the offical one is available. Not a big deal though.

You can do the following to create an archive: hg archive -t tgz ../xen-3.1.1.tar.gz On 10/16/07, Anand Gupta <xen.mails@gmail.com> wrote:> On 10/16/07, S.Çağlar Onur <caglar@pardus.org.tr> wrote: > > Same problem also valid for us, Is there any reason exists for not to > publish whole repository as a official tarball or did i misunderstand > something? > > > > It would be nice to have atleast a tarball of the entire repository. > -- > regards, > > Anand Gupta > _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel > >_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
Thanks. That was nice.

ok, so here we are a week later. I need to upgrade XEN on one of my boxes... The URL below shows changes still being committed... if you click around a bit, you can find a RELEASE-3.1.1 tag, but as far as I can see, xen-3.1-testing is still a moving target... certainly not something at one would expect to be recommended to "all users and vendors". Since Xensource apparently doesn''t want to package this for the community (it _is_ more than a week later), has anyone else? -Tom (sorry, I hate to be critical, but I''m really not doing much more than pointing out what seems to be obvious.)

The old mercurial cheatsheet described in the wiki at
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/SubmittingXenPatches
seems to be missing ...
http://xen.xensource.com/documentation/hg-cheatsheet.txt
which given that 3.1.1 is only available from mercurial is a bit of a
pissoff.
hhmm, ok, it''s still available at
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/xen/readmes/hg-cheatsheet.txt
... that link comes from http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWiki
hhmm, that seems way out of date and more targetted to developers than
end-users (probably why it got deleted) ... let''s try doing this by
guesswork
cd /usr/src
mkdir xen
cd xen
# obviously those just create a /usr/src/xen directory
# the next three commands seem to pull the xen source
# assuming you have mercurial, which is available from rpmforge
# for redhat based installations.
hg init
hg pull http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.1-testing.hg
hg update
"make world" then seems to go off and do it''s thing, but I
can''t figure
out what it''s using for a kernel config... if you cd into the logical
linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_32 directory and try to make menuconfig you find a
very sparse config which doesn''t match what make world is compiling...
further you completely screw up whatever config make world _is_ using :(
So how are you supposed to configure a xen 3.1.x build? This is the same
trouble I had with 3.1.0, as described here:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-09/msg00050.html
So, can someone please tell me how I''m supposed to build a current xen
install such that I have the modules I want compiled in? If I can only
have one kernel that''s fine, I just need it so that I''m not
loading
modules via initrd.
If that also helps avoid having to compile every darn module in the linux
source tree, that would also be good (30 minutes later and the box is
still compiling... it shouldn''t take more than 5 minutes to compile the
pieces I _need_).
-Tom

For what its worth, the gentoo team have an ebuild of xen 3.1.1 (since 10/15). I''m not sure that it helps you, but at least someone somewhere has a stable build of it.

Hello, I''ve noticed that lately a lot of links seem to bring up 404 errors. I get the impression that xensource is trying to be difficult with open-source on purpose in favor of their commercial products.

Make sure you have mercurial installed (either from a vendor package or download from http://www.selenic.com/mercurial) and then ''hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.1-testing.hg''. That gets you the source repository. -- Keir On 23/10/07 08:40, "Dominik Klein" <dk@in-telegence.net> wrote:>> Currently the only distribution mechanism for 3.1.1 is mercurial. > > Could you please point out, how? > > I find nothing with 3.1.1 on the website. > > Regards > Dominik > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
