[Xen-users] is safe to compile and install the gplpv (changeset 939) for production?
Hello
Compile the latest version of gplpv (changeset 939) and these
weeks I think to try.
As I will not be able to test all complete (not know where to get
started) and seeing that there is poor documentation on gplpv (the doc
is the source code), I''m not sure if it''s a good idea to use
this
compilation in production.
I really do not know if the version "changeset 939" is stable,
testing or a simple snapshot that only a madman would put in
production running a DBMS.
Nor is a stable version gplpv_2003x32_0.11.0.238.msi .. :)
You think? is safe to install gplpv (changeset 939) for production?

I''m almost finished running the Vista+ version drivers through the MS testing suite, so should have something I can call stable again for the newer OS''s soon. All the problems I''m finding in the network drivers so far are not crash related though so they should still work, there are just a few oddities with statistics reporting and some OID''s I should support but don''t. I haven''t run the vbd drivers through the test suite yet though.

Also used to indicate some bugs associated with files .bat used to compile. 1. Which achieves better performance static or static lib build or dynamic lib build? (After much thought .. I chose the static, but the desicion is based on 70% of ignorance) 2. Possible bug? In the file sign.bat, line 19, generates the line: "C: \ WinDDK \ 7600.16385.1 \ bin \ x86 \ signtool.exe sign / v / s PrivateCertStore / n / t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll xenpci \ objchk_wnet_x86 \ i386 \ xenpci. sys " that when executed returns: SignTool Error: File not found: according https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/code-signing-support/index?page=content&id=SO326&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1310076513769 the correct url is http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll (without the e), but neither goes .. This is really necessary? influencing not have it? 2. Possible bug when compiling with 32Bit Windows XP? In archive.bat file in line 4 is the sentence "IF NOT EXIST %SEVENZIP% GOTO :end" for me is worth the '':'' :) For my part not know the syntax, Win XP does not work. 3. Possible bug when building on Windows XP? I had to insert the statement ''exit / b 0'' at the end of the files: sign.bat, wix.bat archive.bat and for these to run properly on the line "cmd /C "%DDK_PATH%\bin\setenv.bat %DDK_PATH%\ chk WLH && CD /D "%PV_DIR%" && build -cZg && call sign.bat && call archive.bat && call wix.bat" File makedist.bat. Without that line these files are not retrieved variables setenv.bat defined variables, nor were run and call archive.bat wix.bat. 4. It''s normal to win a 2003 32bit domU with 9GB ram (on a 64bit Linux), the driver xenvbd be 50% less than in disk access performance, in relation to windows as host? It is acceptable performance? I can see graphs of benchmark WindowsGplPv?
