Hello,
Should we update Xen version to 4.0.0 (-rc7) for F13? All the new pvops dom0 kernel trees require the new IOAPIC stuff from either Xen 3.4.3 or 4.0.0 anyway.
xen-4.0.0-rc7 src.rpm from M A Young seems to work OK for me: http://fedorapeople.org/~myoung/dom0/src/xen-4.0.0-0.5.rc7.fc12.src.rpm
If you don't update you are stuck with the problems in the old version. If you update now you have a path to a working version.
Xen 4.0.0 is expected to get final soon, so we could then update the final release for F13.
What do you guys think?
Doesn't look like a hard choice here, the alternatives are patch 3.4.3 to make it work right, or not get it in the release. I doubt it will get added if it isn't there to start, and patching obsolete code is pretty much a no-go, as well. Fedora is cutting edge, time to move.
Yeah, I agree. Xen 4.0.0-rc8 is the latest release now, and it's supposed to be the last rc..
Gerd: Would you like to update the Fedora xen rpm?
