Hi. Just simple question. I have Debian distribution. In the past I always compiled Xen from source. However, Xen packages are already included in Debian Stable (amd64). What is worth? Compiling or using binary installation of newest Xen 3.1 or using the debian packages of Xen 3.0.3? Thanks for your opinion.

Debian Etch includes Xen 3.1 packages (2.6.18-5-xen-686 packages), and you can get 3.1 for Sarge in backports. I''m using the Debian packages on an x86 system and haven''t had any issues, or found any shortcomings. -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of kanour-xen Sent: November 11, 2007 1:47 AM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-users] xen - binary or compilation?

Ok then. I thought that Etch uses Xen 3.0.3-1 which is 3.0.3, but I was probably wrong.

It''s easy enough to get the 3.1.1-1 sources from Lenny and compile them under Etch though (just one dependency you have to ignore).

James _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users Hi James. I decided to install Lenny instead of Etch. I can see there are xen related packages. Would you be able to give me hint how I can compile only the xen-linux image which is not included in Lenny? Otherwise I would have to use the binary package or sources from xensource web site. The aim is to have xen-image and then use the packages in Lenny (hypervisor, tools, docs, etc) Thanks Jiri _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
