You could download and build the latest stable or test source from
xen.org. This assumes you are familiar with that sort of thing, but if you
want to test, you probably are...

Subject: [Fedora-xen] Upgrade to development xen on F8?
I'm a bit torn between asking here and asking on the Fedora test list.
I'd like to use the latest xen (that's what I'm testing), but I don't want to
upgrade to the entire development tree.
I tried this, and was astonished at the number of packages to upgrade!
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum install --disablerepo=* --enable=development
kernel-xen
kernel-xen-2.6-doc xen xen-hypervisor xen-libs xenwatch | wc -l
Error: Missing Dependency: kdemultimedia3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package
kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree
845
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#
Those 845 lines represent upgrading pretty much all of KDE and all of Gnome.
The package "xen" alone accounts for much of this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum install --disablerepo=* --enable=development xen | wc
-l
Error: Missing Dependency: kdemultimedia3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package
kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree
844

My idea of an ideal host for virtual machines is one that runs guests and
precious little else, and certainly not a GUI and all the baggage that
entails.
Do these *xen* packages build on f8? What's the easy way to get the source - I
used to use up2date, but I fear the technolgogy's getting ahead of me.
