More details can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG Virt Preview ================ As was announced before, the virt-preview repository for F12 users wishing to test out the latest F13 virtualization bits is available. Additionally we have created a virt-preview repository for F13 users wishing to test out packages destined for F14 virtualization. Instructions for using these repositories can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository Recent updates in this repository include: F-13: ==== libguestfs-1.5.0-4: - New development branch 1.5.0. - Remove two upstream patches. - Work around permanently broken test-getlogin_r Gnulib test. libvirt-0.8.2-2: - CVE-2010-2237 ignoring defined main disk format when looking up disk backing stores - CVE-2010-2238 ignoring defined disk backing store format when recursing into disk image backing stores - CVE-2010-2239 not setting user defined backing store format when creating new image - CVE-2010-2242 libvirt: improperly mapped source privileged ports may allow for obtaining privileged resources on the host - Upstream release 0.8.2 - phyp: adding support for IVM - libvirt: introduce domainCreateWithFlags API - add 802.1Qbh and 802.1Qbg switches handling - Support for VirtualBox version 3.2 - Init script for handling guests on shutdown/boot - qemu: live migration with non-shared storage for kvm python-virtinst-0.500.3-4: - Drop default CPU config, fix some 64bit installs (bz 611584) - If host is 64bit, make sure VM always sees 64bit CPU (bz 611584) - Keep windows CDROM attached for second install stage - Fix pool source listing in virt-manager F13 Bugs ======== DOOM-O-METER: 33 bugs are open against F14 virtualization packages, but it is rather early in the cycle. 118 bugs are open against F13 virtualization packages. We need to spend a bit of time focusing on these. If you would like to help out, you can find more information at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_bugs = Important = == kvm == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605757 2tb virtio disk gets massively corrupted filesystems This issue should be resolved in the next qemu update for F13. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613517 Guest machine is stuck (no ping, no nothing) (host spends 25% in read_hpet) This should be fixed with the latest seabios update in F13 updates-testing.
