== Updates Needing review ==
The following packages are in updates-testing and need review and karma as
appropriate:
F14:
- libvirt-0.8.3-10.fc14
CVE-2011-2511, integer overflow in VirDomainGetVcpus
- libguestfs-1.8.9-1.fc14
Stable branch update to version 1.8.9
F15:
- libguestfs-1.10.5-1.fc15
Update to stable branch version 1.10.5.
- spice-protocol-0.8.1-1.fc15
this package doesn't close any bugs but it is required to build an updated
spice-server that will close bugs.
== Virt Preview Repository ==
The virt-preview repository is now active for F15 users wishing to run the
latest F16 virt packages on their stable F15 systems. F14 virt-preview users
will still get the latest F15 packages. For details on how to run enable
virt-preview, please see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository
At the moment, virt preview is out of sync with F16 due to a bug in binutils
which will not allow the new seabios to build. Because libvirt requires the
newer seabios, updates have been put on hold until the binutils fix is pushed
to Fedora 15.
== Bugs of importance: ==
- 700560 F15 virt-manager gui locks/freezes in the default storage pool
There is a bug which states that sym-linked storage pools will lock
virt-manager, and now reports that the default storage pool does as well.
- 720995 F15 kvm gets stuck while booting 32 bit guest on 64 bit host with smp
This seems to be the kvmclock regression bug, and the patch will make the
next
update
