can you check and let me know - I've looked at the pending queues a few
minutes back and found nothing there. So anything due to buildlogs or
cdn should be pushed already

FYI I've got a new version that provides symbolic links for backwards
compatibility which should have hit buildlogs (aka
centos-virt-xen-testing) two hours ago, but hasn't for some reason...

Long-term, yes. :-)  But for the time being, centos-release-xen still
points to 4.4, so if you want 4.6, you have to install the 46 package.

The idea is to give people currently on 4.4, who may want to *stay* on
4.4, a window to notice (and test) the new centos-release-xen-44
package before having centos-release-xen automatically update.

Domains using the distribution provided pvgrub won't boot after upgrade.

Old location of pvgrub:

/usr/lib/xen/boot/pv-grub-x86_32.gz

you dont need that centos-release-xen anymore.

once there is enough traction, the 'xen' repo itself will go away ( its
a symlink right now, pointing to the latest xen-XX in each of the centos
repos )

As discussed on this list in the past .. the SIG in general is going to
maintain 1 version of xen current for each CentOS version.  And the goal
currently (as I understand it) is to move to every even point release,
if that release works within the gcc/glibc parameters for that CentOS
Version.

So, xen 4.8 will be the one following 4.6, etc.

That means that the older versions (ie 4.4 on CentOS-6) will be orphaned
if someone from the community does not step up, join the SIG, and
maintain the packages.

Specifically for Xen-4.4.x on CentOS-6, I will maintain that so long as
upstream xenproject.org continues to produce XSA patches for Xen-4.4.
Once xenproject.org stops support for xen-4.4 then an announcement will
be made and that branch will stop being updated.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Would this be instead (to get latest and always stay one latest):

yum remove centos-release-xen44 centos-release-xen46
yum install centos-release-xen

(instead of installing centos-release-xen46)

I now have a build of Xen 4.4 with XSA-154 going through the build
system.  For users who need it, it should be available on buildlogs
(via centos-virt-xen-testing) sometime later this afternoon.  The
signed version on mirrors may be delayed until tomorrow.

And that really will be the last Xen 4.4 XSA update I personally port. :-)

However, if anyone wants to push any further changes to 4.4, feel free
to send a pull request to this tree:

https://github.com/CentOS-virt7/xen

And I'll be happy to review it and push it through the CBS.  I've made
a detailed how-to, so hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult.

Peace,
