Hi there. When setting up a new server in november last year I found opensuse 12.1 has some problems running as a xen server. I found a bug report that matched my problem: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727081 I switched to kvm for virtualisation on that system - no real problem so far. The bug was fixed at december 2nd including a private update repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/olh:/bug727081/openSUSE_12.1 For the server I set up in november everything would have been ok at this point. But as I have some production servers to support, that must be updated to 12.1 too, I have to wait for an 'official' update package - distributed via the official update repository. No problem - the bug has a fix, it needs some testing and then it can go main line. That I thought. 10 _weeks_ later the bug has been moved from a private repository to a maintenance repository: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=openSUSE%3AMaintenance%3A280 Does anybody know how long it usually takes for a patch from having a maintenance repository to actual distribution? Additional question: wouldn't it be a good idea to add some extra states to bugzilla for "bug is in internal testing", "bug got maintenance repository" (whatever that actually means), "bug is distributed". For an external user, who is not involved in the development process of opensuse it is kind of confusing up to frustrating to see a bug "closed fixed" and to not get an official update for it. For users who don't found the bug in bugzilla the bug is still open. As this bug is a showstopper, Xen simply does not work in 12.1 for them.
