xen 3.2.0-0xs.fc8 rpms
----------------------

These RPM source and binary packages for Fedora 8 are based on the
official Fedora 8 packages of Xen 3.1.


They have been lightly tested and appear to work.  However, these
packages are intended as a base for distributions to work with and
secondarily as a preview or interim version for users.

Xen.Org (and XenSource) do not intend to release security patches for
these versions, if and when it is necessary for users to update their
Xen installations.  Additionally these packages have undergone only
limited source code review and testing.

These binary packages should therefore be approached with caution
and should not be relied on for extended production use.

Sophisticated end-users should, whereever possible, use the unpatched
Xen 3.2 sources directly.  Those sources have been tested more
thoroughly and have more traceable and reliable contents (due to the
absence of distribution-specific patches).

Binary packages with full security support, suitable for full
long-term production use, should be available soon from your operating
system supplier in the usual way.


As always, we are keen to reduce the divergence between
distribution-specific packages and Xen.Org upstream versions and
encourage vendors to participate in the upstream development process.


The set of binary packages is the same as that provided by the
Fedora 8 packages for Xen 3.1:

 xen-3.2.0-0xs.fc8.src.rpm              source
 xen-3.2.0-0xs.fc8.i386.rpm             hypervisor and management tools
 xen-libs-3.2.0-0xs.fc8.i386.rpm        support libraries (required)
 xen-devel-3.2.0-0xs.fc8.i386.rpm       development tools     } optional
 xen-debuginfo-3.2.0-0xs.fc8.i386.rpm   debugging information }

After installation of the binary packages, some adjustment to the
bootloader (grub) configuration will probably be necessary.
