Thanks for your hard work. I see that 0.4.5 for F9 just made it through bodhi, but there is no F8 build in bodhi. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-7768 Please release a 0.4.6 F8 update for the benefit of us using F8 dom0. I'm stuck on non-HVM hardware for the foreseeable future, so KVM isn't an option for me. And F9 isn't an option for me since there is no dom0 support. -- Dale Bewley - Unix Administrator - Shields Library - UC Davis GPG: 0xB098A0F3 0D5A 9AEB 43F4 F84C 7EFD 1753 064D 2583 B098 A0F3

Well it wasn't clear that the new release would really fixes things for the Xen users (which is as we all expect the community still using Fedora 8), is there anything in particular you were looking for in this specific release ? It was looking more risky than potentially useful to update there.

- From your position; is there currently anything in the pipeline so Xen users soon can work without XenD (aka the big memoryleak)? Several solutions could implemented this, the patches that qemu does xen, or that libvirt talks to the hypervisor directly.... I'm really hopeing for that kind of change.

I have patches for qemu creating xen domains directly in my queue of stuff to be merged upstream. Right now (patches) qemu handles the basic stuff only though (no save/restore/migration, only pv guests, ...). If things work out well we might have that in the F11 timeframe. Of course this also depends on Dom0 support in the pv_ops based kernel. cheers, Gerd -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

I am familiar with your work. But this would also require significant changes to libvirt, right? Never the less; I cannot wait to ditch the xen-tools. Keep up the good work. Stefan ps. F11 timeframe <- what does that mean? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREKAAYFAkjgvbsACgkQYH1+F2Rqwn2ZjwCglSyevJMEEEs/rGTMaE0/I+tf +LcAn0msXrWYl07O9POGQeTbwFcPnVZF =m54a -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Some adaptions are probably required. Given libvirt supports qemu already it shouldn't be that much though.

Fast enougth to make it into Fedora 11 cheers, Gerd
