==== Virtualization Test Day ====

The Fedora 11 "Test Day"<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Test_Days</ref> for virtualization<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-05-07_Virtualization</ref> took place on Thursday May 7th.

"we made heaps of progress today. To give you an idea of
what went on today, see below for the list of bugs that were filed
during the test day." See the post for a concise list of bugs revealed during
testing.

==== Fedora virt status ====
[[MarkMcLoughlin|Mark McLoughlin]]
posted<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00020.html</ref>
another informative Fedora virtualization status report.
For those who live life beyond the bleeding edge, Mark points out
"F12 tracker bugs have been created.<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Virtualization_bugs</ref>
The F12 blocker and target bugs depend on the F11 counterparts. The
idea is that if we don't fix a bug in F11, it's automatically on the
F12 tracker but we still have a list of bugs worth fixing in a post-GA
F11 update."

==== libguestfs on non-Fedora Platforms ====
[[CharlesDuffy|Charles Duffy]]
described<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00017.html</ref>
some "personal hackery" created to solve the same problems as {{package|libguestfs}}
(FWN#174<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue174#New_Release_libguestfs_1.0.15</ref>),
but by way of a different toolchain. Charles wanted to build <code>libguestfs</code> on his platform
but uncovered many bugs and asked, "is my goal reasonable, or am I better off sticking with my in-house solution for the time being?"
 
[[RichardJones|Richard Jones]] addressed several of the bugs and
posted<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00029.html</ref>
his "notes on building libguestfs and dependencies on RHEL 5 and derived distributions" followed with a blow by blow account of hammering <code>libguestfs</code> and its dependencies into submission. Finally, Richard announced<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00045.html</ref> RPMs for RHEL/CentOS 5.3.
 
Charles thanked<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00047.html</ref> him
"kindly for going above and beyond on this one!".
