[Xen-devel] Signed GPLPV drivers available for download

[Moritz Mühlenhoff <muehlenhoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
for inclusion in Univention Corporate Server - a Linux distribution based on 
Debian targeted towards enterprise environments, which also includes Xen for 
virtualisation - we're now building/signing the excellent GPLPV drivers 
written by James Harper with a Software Publishers Certificate obtained from 
GlobalSign. [1]

This allows installation of the GPLPV drivers on 64 bit Windows without the 
need to enable the test mode.

The drivers are available from http://apt.univention.de/download/addons/gplpv-
drivers/ and should be compatible with any Xen installation.

The installation is detailed in 
http://wiki.univention.de/index.php?title=Installing-signed-GPLPV-drivers

So far only new installation of the GPLPV drivers have been tested. We welcome 
general feedback and experiences with upgrades from test-signed versions of 
GPLPV.

Cheers,
Moritz
