Fedora 13 ========= As we move towards F-13, here's the schedule:
2010-01-26 Feature Submission Deadline (40 days) 2010-02-09 Feature Freeze (54 days) 2010-02-16 Alpha Freeze (61 days) 2010-03-23 Beta (Final Development) Freeze (96 days) 2010-04-29 Compose Release Candidate (133 days) For the Fedora 13 release, we have expanded bug classification a bit. Instead of the previous virt blockers and virt target bugs, we now have 4 classifications (all rolling up into the virt target for easy tracking). As always, the trackers are referenced at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_bugs F13VirtBlocker: These are bugs which are critical to fix before release, and worth holding the release if they are not fixed in time. F13VirtImportant: These bugs are not quite blockers, but should be considered high priority F13VirtTarget: This is somewhat the default bucket for virt bugs. Things which are supported and should be fixed before release if at all possible. F13VirtPonies: These are typically feature requests, or bugs in features we don't really support. As such they are less likely to get attention, but patches are welcome. It's not that we don't want these fixed, but we just don't have the resources to get to everything. F12 Virt Preview ================ As was announced before, the virt-preview repository for F12 users wishing to test out the latest virtualization bits is available. Updates in this repository include: bochs-2.3.8-0.9.git04387139e3b: - Include symlinks to VGABIOS in vgabios rpm, BZ 544310. - Enable cpu level 6. libvirt-0.7.4-1: - upstream release of 0.7.4 - udev node device backend - API to check object properties - better QEmu monitor processing - MAC address based port filtering for qemu - support IPv6 and multiple addresses per interfaces - a lot of fixes - Really fix restore file labelling this time - Fix QEMU save/restore permissions / labelling libvirt-java-0.4.0-2: - Modified the dependency to be libvirt-client instead of libvirt. - Added libvirt APIs up through 0.7.0 python-virtinst-0.500.1-2: - Fix interface API detection for libvirt < 0.7.4 - Update to version 0.500.1 - virt-install now attempts --os-variant detection by default. - New --disk option 'format', for creating image formats like qcow2 or vmdk - Many improvements and bugfixes qemu-0.11.0-12: - Fix a use-after-free crasher in the slirp code (#539583) - Fix overflow in the parallels image format support (#533573) virt-manager-0.8.2-1: - Update to 0.8.2 release - Fix first virt-manager run on a new install - Enable floppy media eject/connect - Select manager row on right click, regressed with 0.8.1 - Set proper version Requires: for python-virtinst - VM Migration wizard, exposing various migration options - Enumerate CDROM and bridge devices on remote connections - Support storage pool source enumeration for LVM, NFS, and SCSI We should see qemu move to the 0.12 tree before the end of the year. Bugs ==== DOOM-O-METER: 173 bugs open 4 weeks ago, up to 211 now. We have a lot of work to do! = Important = == kvm == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478317 almost 9 thousand syscalls per second while idle This is believed to be a result of the USB Tablet device, but several users have noticed high host CPU usage while guests were idle. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544339 Segfaults logged from kvm (qemu-kvm) resulting in guest sudden crash and data loss A number of users complaining of guests crashing and sometimes taking the host with them. It is possible that this is related to video emulation. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544940 reattach virtio to rhel{5,6} guests will cause qemu-kvm crash == libvirt == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541966 Occasional crash on vm shutdown/reboot libvirt will occasionally crash when a VM shuts down. I am testing now, but it seems that a couple of other bugs will be marked as duplicates of this one. _______________________________________________ Fedora-virt mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt
