In order to make sure SIG content is "fresh", whenever a new version
of CentOS comes out, content is discarded automatically unless SIG

I have the following packages going through the CBS:
* A CentOS 7 xen-4.6.1-2, with XSAs 170 and 154
* A CentOS 6 xen-4.6.1-2, with XSAs 170 and 154
* A CentOS 6 xen-4.4.3-11, with XSAs 170
All these should show up in mirrors hopefully sometime later today.
As usual, please report any problems her
Thank you for those who raised the issue of upgrading across
potentially disruptive major versions (like the Xen 4.4 -> 4.6
update), and for everyone who weighed in.
After discussing options with users here on this list (as well as in
the IRC channel), further discussing things in the Virt SIG IRC
Xen 4.6.1 packages are available in centos-virt-xen-testing; please
test, I'll probably be pushing it to the mirrors sometime early next
week (before the upcoming XSAs are due to go public).
To use (assuming you've installed already):
yum --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing update
Please repo

switching from the sysv initscripts to systemd.
It's probably worth enabling xendom
I've pushed an update to the centos-release-xen package,
centos-release-xen-7-12.el6, to centos-virt-xen-testing, which should
fix the "missing initrd" issue people have been seeing.
Please test and see if it fixes your issue (and that it makes no other
issues). If everything works well, I'll get
xen-4.4.3-10.el6 and xen-4.6.0-9.el7, which contain patches for XSAs
167-169, are on their way to CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 Virt Sig Xen
mirrors, respectively.
As a reminder, this is the last security update for xen-4.4. Xen 4.6
