This is to announce the creation of RHEL6-testing kernel branch,
in addition to already existing RHEL6 branch.
All the kernels that were in RHEL6 branch are now moved to
RHEL6-testing. RHEL6 branch at the moment only have one
kernel we are currently considering as a stable: 042stab037.1
Note that yum repository setup file openvz.repo have a new
section [rhel6-testing] added. Existing users of rhel6 kernel
branch are not affected. If you want to switch to rhel6-testing
repository, download http://download.openvz.org/openvz.repo
and set enable=1 for rhel6-testing branch.
As with RHEL5 branches, most of the new kernels will be released
into rhel6-testing repository first, then some of them will
appear in rhel6 (stable) repository. Recommended setup is to
use the rhel6 repository on all the production servers, and
rhel6-testing repository on a few integration/testing/non-critical
servers.
