[ovirt-devel] [vdsm][virt] what's new in virt (20160126)

[Francesco Romani]

Hi all,

Here it is a new weekly summary about what's going on on virt's world (VDSM edition).
Since last week things are calming down after a bug-fixing/backporting intense week.
Now, attention is shifting again towards new features and enhancements

General directions:
* Francesco: the backport queue is almost empty, so is resuming janitorial work and
  started an experimental project to support containers with libvirt-like API
  - https://github.com/mojaves/convirt
* MartinPolednik: pushing the final bits to his 'cpuarch/cpuinfo' topic.
  Most patches are in; after a great infrastructure cleanup, time to tackle the hooks themselves
  - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic:cpuinfo
* Milan: is working on debian packaging, and resuming janitorial work (vmdevices cleanup)
  - no specific topic
* Shahar: is working on extending v2v to support Xen
  - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic:v2v-xen
* Vinzenz: more bugfixes for Guest Agent, started working on Guest Lifecycle Events (and Hooks).

  - recovery will receive some cleanup, but not really urgent
