[Libguestfs] Status of libguestfs in Fedora, RHEL

Just a note (mainly to get it clear for *me*!) where we are with libguestfs branches and Fedora/RHEL versions: Fedora │ ├── Fedora 16 libguestfs 1.16 (currently 1.16.29) │ ├── Fedora 17 libguestfs 1.18 (currently 1.18.6) │ ├── Fedora 18 (just libguestfs 1.19.28, will move to │ branched) stable 1.20 branch when it is ready │ └── Rawhide follows development releases as usual Unfortunately a combination of factors make testing releases in Fedora 18+ impossible right now: - NTFS breakage with the new kernel (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/844485) - DWARF symbols are broken, making it challenging to run any valgrind tests The unfortunate result is that Fedora 18+ releases aren't tested to our usual high standards. RHEL │ ├── RHEL 5 ancient libguestfs 1.2 │ │ (DO NOT USE this version except with virt-v2v, │ │ and even then it's far better to use RHEL 6) │ │ │ └── EPEL 5 libguestfs 1.19 from oldlinux branch, will │ move to 1.20 when it is ready │ │ ├── RHEL 6 │ │ │ ├── RHEL 6.0 libguestfs 1.2 (no longer supported, DO NOT USE) │ │ │ ├── RHEL 6.1 libguestfs 1.7.17 (no longer supported) │ │ │ ├── RHEL 6.2 libguestfs 1.7.17 (no longer supported) │ │ │ ├── RHEL 6.3 libguestfs 1.16.19 + RHEL patches │ │ │ ├── RHEL 6.4 rebase along libguestfs 1.16 stable branch │ │ │ └── RHEL 6.5 unknown, possibly rebase to 1.20 if │ there is time and any demand for it │ │ └── RHEL 7 intending to go with libguestfs 1.20 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
