We have to know if the Attach/Detach devices functions will be in the
libvirt library of RHEL-5 RC1
No this was done after the code freeze, and not request by a partner
as a feature for RHEL-5, so this is not present.
and also if some enhancements of the XML
format will be present such as currentMemory, ...
Yes currentMemory will be in. This should not be a big problem, you can generate
the XML with it, and if the library don't understand it, it should just ignore
it.
The set of patches are the following:
Patch0: create_message.patch -> bug fix
Patch1: libvirt-0.1.8-shreable-disk.patch -> shareable disk
Patch2: localization.patch -> localization
Patch3: core_dump.patch -> support for domain core dump
Patch4: current_memory.patch -> current memory amount support
Patch5: bootloader.patch -> bug fix for pygrub bootloader
Patch6: python-lock.patch -> release python lock when calling libvirt
Patch7: ostype.patch -> os type bug fix
Patch8: vcpu_info.patch -> bug fix
Patch9: pvfb.patch -> Paravirt frame buffer support
Patch10: pvfb2.patch
Patch11: maxid_check.patch -> bug fix
