Hi, I would like to apply for a micro release exception for Xen for supported releases:
- Those are managed by the Xen community and like stable kernels are and limited to bug fixes. Those get reviewed upstream before release. - Like for the stable kernel releases this helps to get bugs fixed even before people may be reporting them to us. - Security patches are based on the current stable release (currently 4.1.x and 4.2.x) so applying security updates before the next stable version has less risk of missing dependencies. - The backports I did prepare were simply replacing the orig tarballs and dropping security patches or bug fixes which since then were applied into upstream stable. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/1180396 (4.1.5) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/1180397 (4.2.2) - Backports get locally test build and also manually regression tested on AMD and Intel Xen hosts. Regards, Stefan Bader
