Actually, as I understand, Xen 3.4 is used in XCP, and maintained (bugfixes/security), but no new features added. Actually, I can say Xen 3.4 is most stable right now (I don''t saw any hand up many servers in product within last or this year, compare to Xen 4, where I cough some hangs last summer). -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Xen-users] has 2.6.18 development stopped Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2011 16:25:17 +0800 From: Teck Choon Giam <giamteckchoon@gmail.com> To: Abhishek Dixit <abhidixit87@gmail.com> CC: xen-users@lists.xensource.com On Sat, Mar 5, 2011 at 11:49 AM, Abhishek Dixit <abhidixit87@gmail.com <mailto:abhidixit87@gmail.com>> wrote: I want to know has the development of following kernel being stopped? http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg If you visit the URL and see log (age)... there are changes two days ago.

If I am not mistaken to be able to use the above kernel I should be using Gentoo patches and Xen-3 with it. Depends on whether you install from source or from vendor package management. The above kernel aka XenLinux suppose to work on any xen versions 3 and 4 not just Xen version 3. Xen version 3 as in 3.0.x or 3.3.x or 3.4.x or ... ...? Anyway, from my understanding or reading from past mails in xen-devel mailing list, xen version 3 is no longer under maintenance. Someone correct me if I am wrong about any of the above. Thanks.
