There's not a build for Rawhide yet, and I don't think Justin will add them to virt-preview until it's in Rawhide. > Or should I plan to download and compile? Downloading and compiling is very simple. (1) Download the tarball from: http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/download.html (2) Build it (as non-root): rpmbuild -ta virt-manager-0.8.6.tar.gz (3) Install the binary RPM(s), the full path(s) for these are printed out near the end of step (2). You have to do this as root: yum --nogpgcheck install /path/to/RPMS/noarch/virt-manager-0.8.6-1.fc14.noarch.rpm That works in the above case because virt-manager contains a spec file inside its source tarball. The general build method for other Fedora packages is below. (A) Look for the latest builds of the package: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?match=glob&type=package&terms=virt-manager (B) Download the SRPM of the latest .fc15 (ie. Rawhide) build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=192052 wget http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/virt-manager/0.8.5/1.fc15/src/virt-manager-0.8.5-1.fc15.src.rpm (C) Rebuild it (as non-root): rpmbuild --rebuild virt-manager-0.8.5-1.fc15.src.rpm (D) Install the binary RPM(s), the full path(s) for these are printed out near the end of step (C). You have to do this as root: yum --nogpgcheck install /path/to/RPMS/noarch/virt-manager-0.8.5-1.fc14.noarch.rpm One day I'm going to write an RPM / source / patching / tracking tool which will automate all of this ...
