You could download and build the latest stable or test source from xen.org. This assumes you are familiar with that sort of thing, but if you want to test, you probably are...

I'm a bit torn between asking here and asking on the Fedora test list. I'd like to use the latest xen (that's what I'm testing), but I don't want to upgrade to the entire development tree. I tried this, and was astonished at the number of packages to upgrade! [root@potoroo ~]# yum install --disablerepo=* --enable=development kernel-xen kernel-xen-2.6-doc xen xen-hypervisor xen-libs xenwatch | wc -l Error: Missing Dependency: kdemultimedia3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree 845 [root@potoroo ~]# Those 845 lines represent upgrading pretty much all of KDE and all of Gnome. The package "xen" alone accounts for much of this: [root@potoroo ~]# yum install --disablerepo=* --enable=development xen | wc -l Error: Missing Dependency: kdemultimedia3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree 844 [root@potoroo ~]# My idea of an ideal host for virtual machines is one that runs guests and precious little else, and certainly not a GUI and all the baggage that entails. Do these *xen* packages build on f8? What's the easy way to get the source - I used to use up2date, but I fear the technolgogy's getting ahead of me. -- John the Bewildered. -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
