On the SourceForge page there is a new Fedora KVM release 87 available.
No date, no version.
When I open add/remove software under Gnome (Fedora 11) I find that I
have QEMU system emulator x86-2:0.10.5-3.fc11 installed and
x86-2:0.10-16.fc11 available. This looks like a newer verion but how to
I know? There is no release date or release version shown in the lower
right pane where the package information is shown. Additionally, the
10.5-3 versus 10-16 versioning makes me hesitate since I am not sure
these are one in the same package.
Several problems here that are all contributing to the amount of blog
and Email traffic: Consistent documentation and identification of what
is current. If the two packages are the same and 10-16 is an update
then it should be 10.16-0(?) for consistency.
Should I install this update?

Which is this SourceForge page? Fedora doesn't distribute any
packages through SF.

kvm-XXX numbering scheme is the unstable development snapshot branch.
Fedora uses the stable branch, which matches the QEMU numbering
scheme, qemu-kvm-0.10.x
Thus there are no plans to ship kvm-87 or any other kvm-XX release series

Daniel

Which sourceforge page?
kvm-87 is a development snapshot, it is available in rawhide. We will
ship 0.11 in Fedora 12.
No date, no version.

0.10.5 is newer than 0.10
