The HOWTO is out of date, and I wanted to make sure the right thing was recommended. My take is that the right recommendation now is xen: 4.1 dom0: NetBSD 6 stable, amd64 except that maybe it should be 4.2. I looked at package building status for kernels and tools, with the first two columns being doing builds from 2014Q1 on my machines, and the second two being the official bulk builds. So I think we have a significant problem. Part of it is that gcc 4.5 is much fussier than 4.1, and has an internal error on some of the qemu stuff. There are some other random errors. It would be really nice to get things working better for the next branch (6/15ish). Specifically: xentools41 and xentools42 building reliably xen 2.0 is going to be deleted (so far no objections) what about xen 3.3? I expect people are still using it, even though I'm not sure of any reasons not to move to 4.1 or 4.2. any hope of PCI passthrough on 4.1/4.2? any hope of NetBSD dom0 MP? does NetBSD domU MP really work? all builds i386 (I know amd64 should be checked/used) ------------------------------------------------------- package netbsd-5 netbsd-6 2014Q1-5 2014Q1-6 ------------------------------------------------------- xenkernel20 X X X X xenkernel3 X xenkernel33 X X xenkernel41 X X X X xenkernel42 X X X X xentools20 xentools3 X X xentools3-hvm X X xentools33 xentools41 xentools42 X X X -------------------------------------------------------
