Subject: Re: [Users] qemu-ga /oVirt/ubuntu guest
Hi,
and thanks for your fast reply, but you
are looking in the wrong direction.
Sorry :-)
I was talking about the _qemu_-guest-agent
not the ovirt-guest-agent.
afaik they are not similar but ovirt seems
to rebuild some of the capabilities which
qemu-guest-agent already has.
(Any reason why this is done btw?)
afaik they share e.g. the ability to
power down the vm.
but qemu-ga also will allow cpu-hotplug
and altering disk layout inside the guest
in the future.
I'm aware of your mentioned repository for
the ovirt-guest-agent and I already reported
that it works good so far (an offical repo would
of course be better).
I didn't find a repo for qemu-ga unfortunately.
I see that it's packaged in Ubuntu:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+package/qemu-guest-agent
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/qemu/1.4.0+dfsg-1expubuntu4
https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/qemu
and for that matter, Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-qemu/qemu.git
