PV drivers 8.2.2. only testsigned?

PV drivers 8.2.2. only testsigned?

[Steffen Einsle]

Hi there,

after downloading the drivers from 
https://xenproject.org/windows-pv-drivers/ I discovered that the 8.2.2. 
driverset is only testsigned - making it difficult to install and use 
them. I understand that signing is a complicated process and that 
development build drivers are always only testsigned - but the 
development build drivers are on the right side of the page and the 
8.2.2. download is on the left. To me it seems to suggest "left side has 
release drivers with valid signing, right side has development builds 
with test signing"

I just wanted to ask about any plans to release the 8.2.2. drivers with 
valid signing... or how the decision wether to sign or only to testsign 
is made...

Yes, normally we would not list a non-dev driver set here until they were signed. Not sure why that happened; they'd still be visible on xenbits.xen.org anyway but listing them along with signed sets is misleading. I'll try to get them removed until they have been signed.

The drivers normally stay test-signed until they have been properly tested and tagged. I will hopefully sign this set shortly.
