Fedora 13 ========= As we move towards F-13, we are getting really close to the Feature Submission deadline. Planned F-13 features can be seen at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:F13_Virt_Features
F-13 schedule: 2010-01-26 Feature Submission Deadline (8 days) 2010-02-09 Feature Freeze (22 days) 2010-02-16 Alpha Freeze (29 days) 2010-03-23 Beta (Final Development) Freeze (64 days) 2010-04-29 Compose Release Candidate (101 days) Feature status should be updated to reflect current progress sooner rather than later. Now that qemu-0.12 has been added for F-13 we need as much testing as possible. This can be tested by using rawhide, or for those who prefer an F-12 base, the virt-preview repository will allow you to test. F12 Virt Preview ================ As was announced before, the virt-preview repository for F12 users wishing to test out the latest virtualization bits is available. Instructions for using this repository can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository Recent updates in this repository include: libvirt-0.7.5-3: - Add new API virDomainMemoryStats - Public API and domain extension for CPU flags - vbox: Add support for version 3.1 - Support QEMU's virtual FAT block device driver - a lot of fixes libvirt-java-0.4.1-1: - Better null checking around Scheduled Parameters - Added error function callback qemu-0.12.1.2-3: - Point to seabios instead of bochs, and add a requires for seabios - Update to 0.12.1.2 upstream - Remove patches included in upstream seabios-0.5.1-0.1.20100108git669c991: - Initial seabios package * Required for qemu-0.12 and newer. virt-manager-0.8.2-2: - Build with actual upstream tarball (not manually built dist) virt-viewer-0.2.1-1: - Update to 0.2.1 release Bugs ==== DOOM-O-METER: 211 bugs open 4 weeks ago, up to 216 now. We have a lot of work to do! = Important = == kernel == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545851 KVM/networking-related crash This is related to guests using IPV6 == kvm == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555788 SIGTRAP leakage between separate virtual machines https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546483 buffer overflow in usb-linux.c Patch included, this will require an updated 0.11 push for F-12. 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. This appears to be related to sound emulation. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544940 reattach virtio to rhel{5,6} guests will cause qemu-kvm crash Reattaching virtio storage to a guest is causing host crashes. == libvirt == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547045 libvirt can generate bogus node device XML libvirt has a function for escaping XML strings that we clearly forgot to use here. In addition though we probably need to check where this garbage is coming from, because in this particular case we probably shouldn't be including the element at all. _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
