Fedora 13 ========= The Fedora 13 alpha should be available real soon now. Testing of virt features is appreciated. Now it is time to widdle down the bug list and get F13 as clean as possible. We are scheduling a Virt Test day, look for more details in the next status email.
It should be noted that non frozen rawhide means that changes for F-13 now need to happen in the F-13 branch, as well as devel. F-13 schedule: 2010-03-23 Beta (Final Development) Freeze (23 days) 2010-04-29 Compose Release Candidate (60 days) Fedora Cloud SIG ================ Progressis being made towards updated Fedora in the EC2 cloud, and There is some interest in supporting the IBM Cloud. More details can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG 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: qemu-0.12.3-3: - Update to 0.12.3 upstream - vhost-net migration/restart fixes - Add F-13 machine type - virtio-serial fixes Bugs ==== DOOM-O-METER: 244 bugs open 2 weeks ago, holding at 244 now. Feature Freeze has happened, so it is time to really start attacking this bug list! Anyone wishing to help can find more information at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_bugs = Important = == kernel == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545851 KVM/networking-related crash A patch has been submitted upstream, and this should be fixed with the 2.6.32 kernel update. Other issues are holding this update back. == kvm == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555788 SIGTRAP leakage between separate virtual machines Patches have been posted for this, and a resolution is coming soon. This requires kernel patches, so timeframe coinsides with the 2.6.32 update for F12. 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. Feedback suggests that this is no longer an issue in the 0.12.x qemu packages. These packages are available in virt-preview and will be updates to F-12 soon. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544940 reattach virtio to rhel{5,6} guests will cause qemu-kvm crash _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
