Yes, that version is not yet released by Red Hat for RHEL ... the bug
status is "Verified in QA", not released.

I believe so, this is part of the CCIS setup now though - and were
slowly getting started up.

Karanbir,

I know in irc you mentioned that the images had been updated in
amazon. I do see that there is a 6.5 AMI now. This is great but we had
discussed[1] possibly having a CentOS blessed AMI that contains
cloud-init from epel. I gave the 6.5 AMI a spin and I don't see
cloud-init.

Is an image with cloud-init still part of the plan?

Thanks for everything!

Dusty

At our bi-weekly meeting today, we talked about what the general
approach to releases has been.

For Xen, major updates to packages will happen when the upstream
releases.  The plan at the moment is to do this every other release;
so we would update to 4.4, but probably not update again until 4.5.

Between those times, we will generaly be pulling in bug fixes by
consuming point releases when they happen.  Security updates will of
course be pushed out immediately, as will bugs that affect a
significant number of users.

We didn't discuss this, but I would expect that libvirt might be similar to Xen.

For Linux, the plan is to consume one of the LTS kernels.  At the
moment, that's 3.10.  In general, the plan is to update to a new LTS
kernel every 2 years.  However, whenever there is a major release (for
example, with RHEL 7 coming out soon), we may consider moving to a
newer kernel for CentOS 6 sooner, so that the Virt SIG can maintain
only a single kernel version across all CentOS releases.

The initial target for the Virt SIG will be to update the packages
inherited from xen4centos to Xen 4.4 and libvirt 1.2.2.

We're currently in the process of brainstorming a "backlog" of work
items that might be a good idea.  Some things we've come up with so
far:

* CentOS 7 testing branch

* Making a useful Xen CD image
 - Live CD?
 - With pre-made CentOS guest images?
 - Ready to be set up as an OpenStack node?

* Getting some kind of automated testing infrastructure set up

KB / Lars / Johnny, anything I missed / didn't get quite right?

[CentOS-virt] libvirt versions / difference to upstream?

2014-04-22 Thread Sven Kieske
Hi,

I want to upgrade my libvirt version, in order
to get a bugfix from upstream, see this BZ
for details:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1084477

in short: libvirt does not handle qos
correctly prior to version 0.10.2-33.el6

however, it is not (yet?) available in CentOS.
The latest available package seems to be:
libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.7.x86_64

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Is it just the versioning scheme that differs
between CentOS and upstream?

Or did the new rpm just not hit
the repo yet?

Thanks in advance!

PS: This is CentOS 6.5
