I assume they are just changes needed to get the patch to apply to libvirt 0.10.2.1 which is the version Fedora 18 has. The differences are in the surrounding code, for example extra spaces and an if-else chain which was a case statement in your patch. Me neither, but I think I can give it a try (next week), do you have pkgs? Should I build it myself? I have done a scratch build of F18 libvirt with version 2 of the patch (with the same minor tweaks) for Fedora 18 which is at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4747052 . It will also build on Fedora 17 if you have (non-standard) xen 4.2 installed. Michael Young -- xen mailing list xen@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen

What I'm not sure about is whether or not that could also happen _after_ the release. IOW, would such an update to libvirt hit the already released F18? Or will it become rawhide an then F19 material? Thanks and Regards.

So, just to be sure I understand this correctly, Fedora rh/18 will have Xen 4.2 and, if one whats to use it with libvirt, that would happen through XenD, right? Yes, libvirt has two drivers (packaged separately in Fedora), xend and libxl. libvirt will still be able to use the xend driver in rawhide, but the libxl driver is disabled (ie. not built) in libvirt. I expect it would be easy to add back in once libvirt understands libxl 4.2 . Michael Young -- xen mailing list xen@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen

[Fedora-xen] Xen 4.2 in rawhide
Xen has been updated to version 4.2.0 in rawhide. To get this to work Cole Robinson has disabled libxl support in libvirt because libvirt doesn't yet support the 4.2 updates to libxl. There should still be time to get xen 4.2 into Fedora 18 if there aren't any problems in rawhide.
