Hi,
I'm trying to install the newest version of libvirt and libvirt-client from
the rpms at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ on a Fedora 14 machine. The naming of
the rpms as "libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm" suggests that this is exactly
the system this was made for, however, installation still does not go
smoothly.
When I try to install these packages with
yum install libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm \
libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm
, some of the dependencies get resolved automatically, but not all of them,
and I get these error messages:

Apparently, I need newer versions of netcf-libs and xen-libs. Where do I get
these from? There don't appear to be any official rpms or that for Fedora
14...
libvirt-0.9.4 uses netcf APIs that were added in netcf-0.1.9. I had made
Fedora 14 and Fedora 15 builds of netcf-0.1.9 last month, but forgot to
push them to stable (and they weren't autopushed because nobody gave
them karma). I just did this now, so as long as you have the updates
repo turned on, sometime later today you should be able to "yum update"
and get the version of netcf you need to run libvirt-0.9.4.
I'm not sure what the deal is with the version of xen-libs. My F14 box
(which has updates, updates-testing, and virt-preview repos all enabled)
has xen-libs-4.0.2, which seems to be new enough to build and install
the newest libvirt, but it looks like it doesn't have that file (or else
I'm looking in the wrong place).
