Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Xen branches

Uhm, no.

Xen 3.4.x is NOT supported on RHEL5/CentOS5 !!

RHEL5/CentOS5 includes Xen hypervisor 3.1.2 (+a lot of patches by Redhat and from newer Xen versions).
That's the version that is supported by Redhat in RHEL5.

I believe xen.org is planning to release at least Xen 3.4.4 until 3.4 branch is 'forgotten'.
See: http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-3.4-testing.hg

"6 weeks ago: Update Xen version to 3.4.4-rc1-pre".

Ah, so at the minute, I'm currently getting my kernel security fixes from RedHat, but getting my Xen security fixes from Gitco.

This sound ok (Security wise)? The reason why I didn't stick with the 3.1.2 version is becuase FreeBSD (My pfsense DomU firewall) won't boot in this version.

Of course, I'll use Xen 4.x once I get a testbed running nice and stable.
