Of course, any packages that upgrade CentOS packages can only potentially be in CentOS-plus. of course on the other hand there are virtio changes in libvirt and virt-manager so it'd better to wait 5.2's kernel which has virtio updates. -- Levente Si vis pacem para bellum! ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

[CentOS-virt] current state of kvm for centos-5
hi, after a long time it seems the current packages which needed for kvm on centos-5 host seems to working (ie. worth to change). my repo: http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/5/SRPMS/ contains the current set of rpms what we use (about a week): - libvirt-0.6.0-1 python-virtinst-0.400.1-1 virt-manager-0.6.1-1 virt-top-1.0.1-7.el5 virt-viewer-0.0.3-3 qemu-img-0.9.1-12 kvm-83-1 kmod-kvm-83-1 etherboot-5.4.4-8 - you can download x86_64 binary rpms too. these are mostly the fedora src.rpms rebuild on el5 with small modifications. imho it'd be useful to add centos's extras repo too, since these are a huge step even for the current rhel-5.3's rpms and the current kvm-36 which is in extras. these are usable on centos-5.2, so can be added to it's extras repo, but there will be some patches in the coming centos-5.3's kernel-2.6.18-128.el5 (eg. virtio) which has some more benefit too. any comments? how are willing to add it to centos? yours. -- Levente Si vis pacem para bellum! ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
