Hi Christoph,

Right now, on the OpenBSD misc mailing list, there is this discussion:
http://www.sigmasoft.com/~openbsd/archives/html/openbsd-misc/2007-10/threads.html#0114...
about OpenBSD/Xen.

We last spoke last year, when I put your BSDtalk interview transcript
online at http://ropersonline.com/openbsd/xen .

It seems to me that most people on the misc mailing list currently are
not very aware of your OpenBSD Xen port. Could I possibly ask you to
participate in the discussion? I feel that you (and Theo) are the only
guys who can provide authoritative answers on the issue.

Some of the questions that I feel are unclear are:
- Was your porting work fully completed? IIRC it was, but please clarify.
- Is your port still being maintained? Can it be run with OpenBSD
-current or 4.2?
- It seems to me that your port didn't achieve wide recognition and
acclaim because of a lack of publicity.
- AFAIK your OpenBSD/Xen port code hasn't found its way into the
official OpenBSD distribution. Is this correct?
- Are there any reasons why your code didn't go into the official
OpenBSD distro? Was it lack of awareness? Have you ever talked to Theo
and/or other central OpenBSD people?
- Is there any hope that your port might still become part of the
official OpenBSD distribution?
(Theo: Could you possibly comment as well?)

I'd personally be very interested to see your port become part of the
official distribution, but I sadly can't code myself, so all I can do
is ask and hope. :)

Once again, thanks for your hard work. :)

Many thanks in advance and kind regards,
Jens Ropers
