| ==== Fedora virt status ====
| |
| [[MarkMcLoughlin|Mark McLoughlin]]
| |
| posted<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00020.html</ref>
| |
| another informative Fedora virtualization status report.
| |
| For those who live life beyond the bleeding edge, Mark points out
| |
| "F12 tracker bugs have been created.<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Virtualization_bugs</ref>
| |
| The F12 blocker and target bugs depend on the F11 counterparts. The
| |
| idea is that if we don't fix a bug in F11, it's automatically on the
| |
| F12 tracker but we still have a list of bugs worth fixing in a post-GA
| |
| F11 update."

| ==== libguestfs on non-Fedora Platforms ====
| |
| [[CharlesDuffy|Charles Duffy]]
| |
| described<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00017.html</ref>
| |
| some "personal hackery" created to solve the same problems as {{package|libguestfs}}
| |
| (FWN#174<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue174#New_Release_libguestfs_1.0.15</ref>),
| |
| but by way of a different toolchain. Charles wanted to build <code>libguestfs</code> on his platform
| |
| but uncovered many bugs and asked, "is my goal reasonable, or am I better off sticking with my in-house solution for the time being?"
| |
| | |
| [[RichardJones|Richard Jones]] addressed several of the bugs and
| |
| posted<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00029.html</ref>
| |
| his "notes on building libguestfs and dependencies on RHEL 5 and derived distributions" followed with a blow by blow account of hammering <code>libguestfs</code> and its dependencies into submission. Finally, Richard announced<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00045.html</ref> RPMs for RHEL/CentOS 5.3.
| |
| | |
| Charles thanked<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-May/msg00047.html</ref> him
| |
| "kindly for going above and beyond on this one!".
