[Libvirt-announce] Start of freeze for libvirt-0.9.4 and availability of rc1
by Daniel Veillard 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

As plannned we are entering the freeze for libvirt-0.9.4 . I have made a release candidate 1 tarball (and associated rpms) at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.4-rc1.tar.gz This seems to pass my minimal tests without problems, but please give it a try too and report problems, I will probably make an rc2 on Thursday or Friday, and then the final release next Monday or Tuesday, thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] libvirt-0.9.3 week freeze, RC1 version to test
by Daniel Veillard 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

So we are entering the week freeze for the new version 0.9.3 I have made an rc1 tarball available at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.3-rc1.tar.gz along with rpms for those interested We pushed a lot of patches in the last few days, we know there is at least some cleanup issues, but I tried it locally and basic operations seems to work fine, please give it a try too and report issues, thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] Libvirt 0.9.2 week freeze, RC1 version to test
by Daniel Veillard 29 May '11

29 May '11

So we are entering the week freeze for the new version. I have made an rc1 tarball available at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.2-rc1.tar.gz I also made rpms too for those interested. I didn't included the locking patches from Dan Berrange, though I had given a review and ACK on the previous version. Maybe we can push this soon and then I will made an rc2. It would be nice to try to identify the OpenSolaris portability issues,a dn if someone could give it a try on Win32 that would be great (along other linux builds of course !) I have tried it locally and basic operations seems to work fine, please give it a try too. thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] [PATCH] Documentation on tests suites and new API test suite
by Daniel Veillard 10 May '11

10 May '11

This is really a dual mail. The main point is announcing the availability of the livirt-test-API, a GPL'ed Python based test suite for libvirt functional testing. It was developped independantly of the TCK by our QA group here in Beijing China and is now made open-source. The software requirements are relatively light and it has been tested on RHEL various versions (5.x and 6.x) as well as Fedora 14. It should be relatively easy to use on Centos, SL, but use on other distributions may need a bit of porting. It has been in use for quite some time,, it is still in development and the public repository is in libvirt.org git at: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-test-API.git and can be cloned with git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt-test-API.git there is some pblican based documentation under the docs/ subtree and we have a PDF ready ans well as snapshots in the download tree http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-test-API/ ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-test-API/ There is a lot of improvements possible, it should be relatively easy to glue to autotest (c.f. chapter 5 of the PDF), and there is definitely cleanups to be done :-) , I think the best way to proceed is to just send git patches here on the libvir-list and have them reviewed and ACK'ed. People with commit access should be able to push as usual, note that I added Guannan Ren <gren(a)redhat.com> as a commiter for this purpose since he has much expertise with that code (along with Osier). Now for the patch itself, it add a top level section in the navigation bar, provide a main description page for the 3 test suites (internal, TCK and libvirt-test-API) and then add a separate full page for the 2 independant test suite. I hesitated between creating a new doc section and trying to reuse one existing, but it didn't fit well in any of the existing section, though that could have been added under "Download" or "Related links" but it was feeling a bit weird in both case so I opted for a new top level.
