Maybe I'm confused about version numbers or looking at the wrong
sites. I'm pretty new to the fedora world so I hope you'll forgive me
needing a bit of handholding.
The sources I found were at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/
where the most recent are 6 and 6.93 (which I take to be a
work-in-progress 7).
'Fedora Core' was renamed 'Fedora' between version 6 and 7, you
will find the latests under the 'releases' subdir:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/
Please rebase based on Fedora 8 if you a binary rebuild, thanks, but ...
My own opinion about this is that since xen is packaged as part of
Fedora, rebuilding a package on your side might be more of a problem
than a solution (I mean for official release rather than for testing)
since it's best to keep a coherency. If you have some problems with
the packages as done in Fedora, it's better to get the issues (assuming
any) solved, rather than putting a parallel set of packages, in the end
avoiding users confusions helps everybody in my opinion.
my 2 euros cents,
Daniel
