Fedora Virtualization List

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

Fedora Virtualization Status Report

Mark McLoughlin's status report[1] this week reminds us that the final development freeze[2] for Fedora 11 is coming up on April 14, 2009, and "there's a huge pile of bug-fixing and polish work to do".

"If you're looking to help out, there's no better place to start than the F11VirtBlocker[3] and F11VirtTarget[4] tracker bugs."

Read on for more coverage of virtualization developments in the past week.

Using kvm-autotest to test Fedora KVM

Mark McLoughlin explained[1] "upstream KVM developers are working hard on a suite of regression tests for KVM. It would be hugely helpful if people could run kvm-autotest[2] on their own machines to try and catch as many KVM issues as possible." Mark also provided a howto[3].

Fedora Xen List

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

Experimental Dom0 Kernel Update

Michael Young announced[1] his repository[2] "is up to kernel 2.6.29-1.2.18.fc11. This one is based on push2/xen/dom0/master[3] rather than xen/dom0/hackery which should be closer to what is proposed for the 2.6.30 merge. It also has CONFIG_HIGHPTE=n (for x86), but my attempts to add squashfs 3 in addition to squashfs 4 didn't work as it seems you can't build both."

Libvirt List

This section contains the discussion happening on the libvir-list.
