Could we please have a sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.32 and sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.33 ?
The patchsets are quite large and may take some time ... As far as I understand it our current patchsets (thanks to Andrew) are based on the Suse/OpenSuse work. Be patient!
I've started work on 2.6.32 and will update this bug later today with links to ebuild and patches for you to test. I may make a ebuild for 2.6.33 but be aware that once linus releases 2.6.34 and opensuse update to that I would replace the ebuild with a newer version, I only really have time to maintain a couple of stable long term kernels (2.6.31 and 32) and one that tracks master.

The first 2.6.33 does not have dom0 symbols, but 2.6.34 should ship them. So, the "need" for a -xen branch (in Gentoo) should be deprecated when gentoo-source-2.6.34 is out. In the mean time, we need up to date sen-sources :) 2.6.33 should be the last one. If I was not told lies :)
Hi, I have a 2.6.33 ebuild which is ready for testing: http://gentoo-xen-kernel.googlecode.com/files/xen-sources-2.6.33.ebuild http://gentoo-xen-kernel.googlecode.com/files/xen-patches-2.6.33-1.tar.bz2 I have tested 64 bit dom0, and 32 and 64 bit domU, I have not tested 32 bit dom0. I am waiting for some bugs to be fixed upstream then I will release a ebuild for 2.6.32 as well. Regarding 2.6.34, even if pv_ops is merged into .34 in its current state I think there is still a place for the forward-ported patches for a while longer, pv_ops performance is slower, some features are missing e.g. pvscsi, pvusb, pv on hvm drivers, also it is much harder to get X working with pv_ops. Andy
I am also looking for the VGA arbitrer (to bring back multiple video card support in AGAIN), but, aren't we offtopic ?
Still waiting 2.6.33 ?
(In reply to comment #6) > Still waiting 2.6.33 ? > 2.6.34 now available at http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list Tested on x86_64 and running perfectly on my workstation with nvidia binary drivers loaded, but please note that the master branch that I took the patches from will quickly transition to tracking linux-next/2.6.35 so while I may be able to release a couple of updates for these patches as minor revisions of the vanilla kernel are released long term they will quickly become unsupportable. When that happens I will wait for 2.6.35 final and release a new ebuild once the master tree catches up. Andy
Has been treed. Thanks :)
Let's re-open :D you know, any way, this game is going to last for ages :) Until XEN dom0 is supported in vanilla :) Anyway, i did a sync, and I can't see 2.6.33 yet ...
2.6.34 is still there. Now go away before I taunt you again ;)
(In reply to comment #10) > 2.6.34 is still there. Now go away before I taunt you again ;) > Next week I will release updated ebuilds for 2.6.31, 2.6.32 and 2.6.34, but there will be no 2.6.33, the reason is that I only release ebuilds when there is a long term upstream source of maintained patches: 2.6.31 = openSUSE 11.2 2.6.32 = SLE11-SP1 2.6.34 = openSUSE 11.3 Andy
