New Release virt-manager 0.7.0

Cole Robinson announce[1] a new Package-x-generic-16.pngvirt-manager[2] release, version 0.7.0.

Virtual Machine Manager provides a graphical tool for administering virtual machines for KVM, Xen, and QEmu. Start, stop, add or remove virtual devices, connect to a graphical or serial console, and see resource usage statistics for existing VMs on local or remote machines. Uses Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt as the backend management API.

New features:

  • Redesigned 'New Virtual Machine' wizard (Jeremy Perry, Tim Allen, Cole Robinson)
  • Option to remove storage when deleting a virtual machine.
  • File browser for libvirt storage pools and volumes, for use when attaching storage to a new or existing guest.
  • Physical device assignment (PCI, USB) for existing virtual machines.
  • Bug fixes and minor improvements.

New Release virtinst 0.4.3

Cole Robinson announce[1] a new Package-x-generic-16.pngpython-virtinst release, version 0.400.3.

virtinst is a module that helps build and install libvirt based virtual machines. It currently supports KVM, QEmu and Xen virtual machines. Package includes several command line utilities, including virt-install (build and install new VMs) and virt-clone (clone an existing virtual machine).

This is largely a bug fix release.
