[fedora-virt] FYI: Major version rebase of libvirt in F12, F13 in updates-testing

[Daniel P. Berrange]

Normally our policy is to avoid any major version rebases of libvirt in
released Fedora products, and only cherry-pick patches. The exception
to this policy is when we have security updates which are not practical
to backport. This is such a time. Thus we are updating the libvirt in
in Fedora 12 from 0.7.1 to 0.8.2 and Fedora 13 from 0.7.7 to 0.8.2, both
matching rawhide. In general we expect the quality of 0.8.2 to be fairly
high, since 0.8.2 was primarily accumulated bug fixes resulting from RHEL6
testing of the 0.8.1 release.

None the less, if you are able to, please take time to test these two
updates and report any regressions[1]:

  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libvirt-0.8.2-1.fc13

Regards,
Daniel
