Fedora Virtualization List

This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-virt list.

Virt Status Report

Justin Forbes posted^[1] a Fedora virtualization status report. Justin pointed out F13 bugs^[2] now include Important and Pony classifications in addition to Blocker and Target.

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features^[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained^[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The libvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."

-"The default mouse for KVM guests is a PS/2 mouse. This causes pain for users
-because it only works with relative coordinates, which means we are forced to
-grab the mouse pointer in the VNC client.
-KVM can emulate a USB graphics tablet which works in absolute coordinate mode,
-and thus gives flawless mouse motion tracking without needing any grab in the
-client." <ref>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487025</ref>
-USB tablet will now be used by default {{package|python-virtinst}} in F11.

-On the <code>KVM</code> and <code>QEMU</code> merge, Daniel P. Berrange explained<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-February/msg00094.html</ref> that "The <code>QEMU</code> upstream release will be so close to the feature freeze, that we don't
-want to risk causing <code>KVM</code> regressions by trying to then merge the two.
-Hopefully come F12, more of the <code>KVM</code> bits will be in <code>QEMU</code> mainline, so
-work we need todo to merge would be minimal."
