We separated the Xen kernel from the bare metal kernel because porting Xen from the ancient XenSource delivered kernelss to current LKML state of the art was taking too much time. Xen porting was delaying updates of bare metal kernels to an unacceptable degree. As for Xen being merged upstream, while we welcome it, it is of no use to Fedora at this time because it is far from feature complete, nor does it have the architecture coverage we need http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2007-July/msg00106.html Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
