The code is from the XenProject, which is developed by a number of different companies, not just Citrix. The XenProject has greatly expanded our automated testing over the last few years; additionally, a number of different companies have their own automated test suites (Oracle, XenServer), and test the development branches regularly. The bugs we've found since RC1 have been almost entirely in niche cases -- enabling this feature broke that bit of hardware; switching this caused that obscure configuration not to work quite right; adding this build option breaks things with that particular compiler. All that to say, RC3 is pretty close to what the final release will be. The main thing that needs testing is actually the packaging effort -- is it easy to install? Does it upgrade properly? &c. And the main thing holding up the official C7 release (for either of them) is just testing. The more people install, test it, and say "this works for me" (or report bugs when it doesnt' work), the sooner the release will come. :-) -George _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
