Hello.I'm just following up on an mailing list exchange from earlier in the=
month that was asking about the possibility of an updated libvirt for EL7.=
Sandro mentioned that this was being talked about but that the vdsm team ha=
d worked around the issue and could do what they needed with the existing s=
upplied libvirt on EL7.I've used a different subject this time to keep the =
topic more obvious to where the discussion has evolved to.
Sandro mentioned that the qemu-kvm-ev that is being built - and available o=
n the cbs.centos.org - would be used in master and also 3.5.x to fix a bug =
present in the currently used qemu-kvm under certain circumstances.=C2=A0 A=
question was asked about live-merge functionality on EL7, and apparently t=
his was being investigated.My initial thought is that if we are already goi=
ng to a newer version of qemu-kvm than the distro supplied version, then wh=
y wouldn't ovirt want to try and be fairly current with the version they us=
e/consume?=C2=A0 Why not provide live snapshot merging on this platform?=C2=
=A0 Why push users over to Fedora?=C2=A0 Many potential users won't want to=
use Fedora on their hosts for a number of reasons.We currently provide qem=
u-kvm-ev-2.1.2-23.el7.1 on cbs.centos.org.=C2=A0 Qemu 2.3 was released earl=
ier this month.
Are there any plans to bump the qemu-kvm version we currently consume?=C2=
=A0 It would be interesting to hear the rationale around what version we us=
e/should be using.
Thanks,Paul
