We had a meeting this week in the Red Hat team and looked at the work ahead for libvirt. We identified a set of feature that we would like to get in, the time frame (mostly based on Fedora releases schedules) and tried to identify remaining issues:
Features when Issues --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEmu & KVM FC7 Wire API , the way the process is controlled mid feb will probably change, but requires QEmu upstream extensions of the monitor remote access FC8 Naming (URIs), Authentication and wire protocol inetd hook, XML format slight change for dhcp Virtual Network FC7 Sharing QEmu, root priviledge for the daemon isolation Migration FC8 API design Access Control ??? depends on Xen Security Module, KVM equivalent Storage ??? Early concept, will be discussed separately on the mailing-list Sync virsh shutdown FC7 Easy to add in virsh
I expect to make a new libvirt release with the KEmu and KVM support as well as a first version of the virtual network support next week. Then the focus will be on remote support and adding migration to the API.
I've just posted a similar list for virt-manager to et-mgmt-tools@redhat.com. Any of you who are interested in knowing about virt-manager future plans or contributing to virt-manager development, please subscribe at https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools. --Hugh
