We'll get this for free just by moving to Ubuntu 14.04 (aka "Trusty"), which will release on April 17. > As a side note tripleo uses libvirt from Saucy (1.1.1) so moving to latest > libvirt would help support them. We will move to trusty _ASAP_. Basically on April 17 we'll start testing it and when it passes CI we'll be on it. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
