[fedora-virt] Fedora Virt Status

[Justin M. Forbes]

Fedora 14
=========

  Fedora 14 development is moving along and we are getting very close to
  the feature freeze.  If you have a pending feature, it needs to be in 
  and ready for testing as soon as possible.

  2010-07-27  Feature Freeze (12 Days)
  2010-08-03  Alpha Freeze (19 Days)
  2010-09-07  Beta Freeze (54 Days)
  2010-10-12  Final Freeze (89 Days)
  2010-10-26  Fedora 14 Release (103 Days)

Fedora 13
=========

  Just a note that we have a few virtualization packages in updates-testing.
  Please test and provide karma in bodhi as appropriate.

Fedora Cloud SIG
================

  Progress is being made towards updated Fedora in the EC2 cloud, and
  There is some interest in supporting other cloud environments. More
  details can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG

Virt Preview
================

  As was announced before, the virt-preview repository for F12 users wishing
  to test out the latest F13 virtualization bits is available.  Additionally we 
  have created a virt-preview repository for F13 users wishing to test out
  packages destined for F14 virtualization. Instructions for using these
  repositories can be found at:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository

F13 Bugs
========

  DOOM-O-METER: 33 bugs are open against F14 virtualization packages,
  but it is rather early in the cycle.  118 bugs are open against F13
  virtualization packages.  We need to spend a bit of time focusing on
  these.  If you would like to help out, you can find more information
  at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_bugs

= Important =

== kvm ==

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605757
    2tb virtio disk gets massively corrupted filesystems

    This issue should be resolved in the next qemu update for F13.


  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613517
    Guest machine is stuck (no ping, no nothing) (host spends 25% in read_hpet) 

    This should be fixed with the latest seabios update in F13 updates-testing.
