[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.6
by Daniel Veillard 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

As stated yesterday, we just entered freeze for libvirt-1.2.6, I have pushed a first release candidate tarball and signed rpms at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I gave it a try and with my limited testing it looks okay, but please have a look and test. The goal is to make the release on Tues 1st if all goes well. Also of note I will likely move the libvirt.org server Monday morning (chinese time i.e. sunday for most), it should be quick, just that if you hit the old IP untim DNS propagates you may have the old server (I will block ssh access after the move on the old to avoid split pushes) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
