XSA 169 is out, but is low-priority and has a work-around, so I’m going to batch it together with XSAs 167-168 and release a new 4.4.3
package when the embargo is lifted next Wednesday.

This will be the last XSA update for the 4.4.3 packages. Today or tomorrow I will push the Xen 4.6.0 packages to buildlogs for testing;
and sometime after the final 4.4.3 packages are released, I will push the Xen 4.6 packages as the main Xen packages.

The Virt SIG is a community project, so anyone wishing to maintain the Xen 4.4. packages going forward is welcome to step up to do so.

  • Hi,

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    Later when announcing the Xen 4.6 based rpms, we need to remember to remind people
    (once again) that Xen 4.6 doesn’t have xm/xend anymore, so everyone needs to migratio to xl now, if they didn’t already.

    Thanks a lot for all the work with Xen 4.4 rpms. They’ve worked well for me, and have been very stable (*knocking wood*) :)

    I’ll start testing the Xen 4.6 bits soon.
