Hi, Debian is about to enter it's freeze for the Stretch release in November and we will support the libvirt version that is in Stretch for at least 5 years.
The upstream version of libvirt at this point will likely be 2.4.0. Are any other distros about to pick a version around that time so we can possibly join forces? Are there any recommendations to rather pick another version due to planned features/fixes/refactorings that haven't made it to the list yet?
None that I know of. I mean, I use Gentoo and here I get rolling updates, so nothing like LTS.
As with previous versions I will feed back patches to the -maint branch and hope to cut point releases as were currently doing with 0.9.12 but if other distros (apart from Debians downstreams) would use the same version this would be a plus.
I think this is the best strategy and I guess if you start the next -maint branch other distros might pick it up too and help you with that later. Michal
