Hi all,

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Server and I am trying to figure out which versions of qemu-kvm and libvirt are known to work well together

Libvirt is supposed to support all versions of qemu that were stable at the time of the particular libvirt release. Therefore, libvirt 0.9.11 and later should support qemu 1.1 and earlier; libvirt.git (the upcoming libvirt 0.10.0) will support qemu 1.2 and earlier. Generally, the only time you run into problems is when you upgrade qemu but not libvirt; but the other direction (upgrading libvirt but not qemu) should just work (if it doesn't, please report it as a bug).

and if there is anything special that needs to be done during their installs.

Not really, although you may want to mimic what your distro did.

I am trying to work with the latest version of libvirt possible that will be stable with qemu-kvm. Right now, the only configuration I've been able to get working are the "libvirt-bin" and "qemu-kvm" distribution packages. However, I would like to at least install libvirt from source because I want to have access to the source code and make minor changes.

We welcome any patches you want to send. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
