[libvirt] Deploying latest libvirt in rhel / centos 5.2
Hello all, I'm wanting to know if I will have some difficulty to package libvirt 0.5.x to rhel / centos 5.2. I'm needing of the latest libvirt release to tests with oVirt. Regards, -- Marco Sinhoreli
You shouldn't have any issues. There is a 'make rpm' target at the top level that I use to build updated packages in RHEL. Take a look at the top of the .spec.in file for build dependencies Marco Sinhoreli wrote on 12/09/2008 08:00 AM:

Actually there are issues related to Xen specificities in RHEL5, but that's not a compile/packaging issue. You also need the patch I posted last Friday to have 0.5.1 compile on RHEL5, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
I need the libvirt 0.5.1 to work with the oVirt and prepare this solution to work over Xen. Do you know if I do a backport of the Xen from fc9 or fc10 or perhaps Xen 3.3.0 the libvirt could to work? Regards, On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 12:16 PM, Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com> wrote:

Well xen is basically not available in F-9 and F-10 so I don't think there have been much testing in that combination. The real need is a backport of some of the RHEL patches for libvirt-0.3.x on top of the new libvirt, and a-priori keeping the xen part untouched.

I have uploaded a set of patches which make libvirt 0.5.1 work with RHEL-5's version of Xen. Basically we have to tweak a few version assumptions to take account of fact that RHEL-5 Xen has a number of feature backports like the new paravirt framebuffer and NUMA support http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/libvirt-rhel5-xen/ Of course running a newer libvirt on RHEL-5 is totally unsupported but hopefully these will be usful to those who absolutely need this newer libvirt and don't mind about lack of support.
