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 -- Didi
