Hi,
I'm currently working on a virtualization-based security project whose aim
is to be Common Criteria-certified in its final version.
What we did was start working with Fedora 18, which should be the basis for
RHEL 7. However, it turns out having more recent versions of the
KVM-related packages (qemu and libvirt, namely) could be a good help as it
would allow us to use vfio.
In my understanding, vfio isn't available with the qemu version used on F18.
So here is my question : will RHEL7 stictly stick to the F18 packages
versions or will it use more up-to-date version ?
No one on this list is able to give you a definitive answer, as this
list cares mainly about upstream Fedora and is not an official RHEL
channel. If you need to know what RHEL 7 will contain, speak with your
Red Hat sales representative. But in all likelihood, RHEL 7 will be
closer to Fedora 19 or even 20 than it will be to Fedora 18, if only
because Fedora 19 has already been released and RHEL 7 has not.
