FWIW I talked to one guy I know that's still using Xen on RHEL 5; he's using the version of Xen that came with it (3.1 or something crazy like that). Asked about running a newer version of Xen, he said: "i don't see any value updating to xen 4 and still running el5 toolstack.. as for same trouble you can just upgrade to el6 and xen4centos" So I'm a "I'm happy with this change but wouldn't argue for it" (+1 on a -2 to +2 scale). -George ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel

I should have been more clear in my patch. I meant this to be the conversation starter about what we saw as an acceptable minimum version for the next release and then was going to commit to a few series to modernize things a bit. -- Doug Goldstein signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
