This is a long expected release, with a lot of new features, as a
result the small version number is increased. The release was actually
done yesterday evening, and the tarballs and signed RPMs are at:

Seconded - DHCP is your friend. Aside from MAC address, when cloning
VMs you must also change name, UUID, posibly VNC port if hardcoded.
To automate this, we provide a virt-clone tool.
agree.
It won't touch anything
inside the guest, but it'll take care of the disk copy and changing all

It seems like we should have the base MinGW (Windows cross-compiler)

document the additional packages we need to get approved, in order to
get the cross-compiled libvirt and virt tools into (or buildable by)
Fedora 11.

Dale, great stuff. This question is a little late for your release, but I know
it will be coming up alot soon, so I hope you can add it to your docs:
Is it possible to run a Fedora 10 pv domU on a Fedora 8 dom0 ?
And if it is, what steps are necessary to be able to install the F10 domU

Hey!
You could propably use CentOS 5.2 als a dom0. It is shipped with a kernel-xen
package 2.6.18.x. It works fine for me but i haven't tried F10 so far since i'm
acutally downloading the iso image of F10 which takes a long time when using a

All,
This is a 2 part patch series to make libvirt backend device scanning more
reliable. In particular, this is important for things that can create/destroy
udev /dev nodes, since at present we can race with the udev creation. Note that
this takes over the previous patch that I posted to
This patch is the same idea as my previous patch for giving
/dev/disk/by-{id,path} a chance to exist. Currently libvirt can race with udev
creation of /dev/disk/by-{id,path}, so if we fail to open the directory, retry
up to 5 seconds. This is only likely to happen on hosts that are:
1) diskless
Instead of relying solely on polling for /dev devices to appear in libvirt, we
really should be synchronizing against udev. This is generally done by a call
to udevsettle, which is exactly what this patch implements for the storage
backends that are likely to create new /dev nodes. I believe

When connecting to a local libvirt you can let it automatically probe
the hypervisor URI if you don't know it ahead of time. This doesn't
work with remote URIs because you need to have something to put in
