Subject: Re: [Users] about live snapshot and qemu-kvm
Yes, but is the reason of different versions something you can share
or not? Just to let the people understand..
Perhaps something related to compatibilities to maintain with 6.0
initial release due to policies red hat uses?
I think duplicating the maintenance effort is negative for red hat
too.. Or not?
There are a few packages in RHEL that we need to move more quickly that would
be possible within the RHEL policies. OpenvSwitch and QEMU are two such
packages.
The version of QEMU in RHEL started on 0.12 and has since had a large amount of
backported features and bugfixes in many cases the backports were significant,
perhaps more than should have been done.
We're getting to the point that in future versions of RHEL we're likely to
carry a newer version of packages like QEMU in the layered products (such as
RHEV and RHEL-OSP) so that we can keep the base versions in RHEL and more
aggressively rebase in the layered products.
The qemu-kvm-rhev binary that's shipped in RHEV is built from the same source
as qemu-kvm but with a different build option. If CentOS doesn't currently
build that package it could easily be done or perhaps built by oVirt.
I for one would very much like to see this built. I was surprised to learn that
this was not handled already, because if live snap works in Fedora, why not
CentOS, you know...
did anyone ask centos to simply build with this flag to enable these
features?
