Re: Xen version for Fedora 13

[Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@xxxxxxxxx>]

My major concern is Libvirt 0.7.1-15. Regardless virt-install still works fine
installing PV & HVM DomUs at Xen 4.0-rc7 (2.6.10 pvops) Dom0 on top of F12. "virsh create" ,with virsh  been compiled against Libvirt 0.7.1-15, fails to create new domain ( for OSOL 134 in particular). Seems like old Xen driver has to be updated.

Yeah, I agree.
Xen 4.0.0-rc8 is the latest release now, and it's supposed to be the last rc..

Gerd: Would you like to update the Fedora xen rpm?
