Hi Christoph, Right now, on the OpenBSD misc mailing list, there is this discussion: http://www.sigmasoft.com/~openbsd/archives/html/openbsd-misc/2007-10/threads.html#01149 about OpenBSD/Xen.
We last spoke last year, when I put your BSDtalk interview transcript online at http://ropersonline.com/openbsd/xen . It seems to me that most people on the misc mailing list currently are not very aware of your OpenBSD Xen port. Could I possibly ask you to participate in the discussion? I feel that you (and Theo) are the only guys who can provide authoritative answers on the issue. Some of the questions that I feel are unclear are: - Was your porting work fully completed? IIRC it was, but please clarify. - Is your port still being maintained? Can it be run with OpenBSD -current or 4.2? - It seems to me that your port didn't achieve wide recognition and acclaim because of a lack of publicity. - AFAIK your OpenBSD/Xen port code hasn't found its way into the official OpenBSD distribution. Is this correct? - Are there any reasons why your code didn't go into the official OpenBSD distro? Was it lack of awareness? Have you ever talked to Theo and/or other central OpenBSD people? - Is there any hope that your port might still become part of the official OpenBSD distribution? (Theo: Could you possibly comment as well?) I'd personally be very interested to see your port become part of the official distribution, but I sadly can't code myself, so all I can do is ask and hope. :) Once again, thanks for your hard work. :) Many thanks in advance and kind regards, Jens Ropers
