I'm happy to announce two new releases:
virt-manager 0.8.3: virt-manager is a desktop application for managing
KVM and Xen virtual machines via libvirt.
Note that this new virt-manager exposes a memory leak in the augeas
library (used by the netcf library, which libvirt uses for the host
interface config APIs). After several hours of an open host connection
in virt-manager, libvirt's memory footprint grows to several hundred MB.
The cause of the leak has been found, and a patch submitted, but if
anyone wants to avoid this leak in the interim, you can get the augeas
source from:
git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/augeas.git
and apply the attached patch.
Thanks a lot for tracking this down! It's probably I good idea to get
this patch into rawhide ASAP before we hit a slew of bug reports from
the fedora alpha.
I'm sure lutter is listening ;-)
While we're tossing thanks around, the real thanks go to you for adding
virInterface support into virt-manager. The feature didn't really seem
finished until now.
I've noticed a couple problems that I thought I should list:
1) the "delay" property in bridges is a float, not an integer, so the
spinner object you use to set it doesn't work for real-world values.
2) When a bridge is created based on an IP interface that uses DHCP, the
<dhcp> node of the ethernet's XML (and actually the entire <protocol>
node) isn't moved over to the bridge. This leaves me with a
non-functioning network that I must fix with ncftool. It would be very
useful if a bridge created from an existing ethernet inherited all
<protocol> nodes from the ethernet.
I would try my hand at coming up with a patch for these two items, but
my list is already too long ;-)
