[Xen-users] What do you do for Xen 4.2?

[John Sherwood <jrs@xxxxxx>]

You can't find any 4.2 packages or the like through standard channels because 4.2 is still "unstable" (e.g., under development); for the most part, you're expected to be building it yourself if you want to play with it.  For that reason, I would advise against production deployment for the time being.  I would still strongly suggest trying out 4.2 in the meantime, out of production, since it's feature complete (or was supposed to be, starting in April).  I believe the timeline was set to have RCs by now, but I haven't been keeping up with it.

As for the repos you've found, I'd trust them for testing, but as a comment on the code base itself, any repos at present will be unsuitable for production use until the devs feel confident enough to give it their blessing as a stable release.

Hi Everyone,

We currently run CentOS 5.8 (With the CentOS stock kernel) and use Xen 3.4.x (and associated packages) from GitCo. This has been a rock solid combination for us.

However, we need to think about the future, and wish to move to Xen 4.2. From my searching, I can't seem to find an easy way to install Xen 4.2. Are there any *trustworthy* third party repos out there that can provide Xen 4.2.x as well as a good, regularly updated solid kernel that would work on CentOS6?

I've come across the choon repos (which does provide Xen 4.2.x and kernel), however I'd like to hear the list's opinion on the trustworthiness of this repo before I deploy it on our production servers :)

I appreciate everyone time

Thanks
