The notes are essentially in place. I don't think there are any gaping
holes, but I should have prompted for feedback much sooner. If you could
apply any love to the release notes[2] it would be appreciated.
Yep, I think they look in good shape.
= QEMU / KVM =
It is noted that QEMU and KVM are merging as a package, but I've also
separately listed the fact that QEMU is now 0.10.0 and KVM is now 84.
With the merge, might it be confusing or inaccurate to mention a
distinct new version of KVM? I'll admit to being somewhat fuzzy on
where/how that line is drawn.
I see[3] QEMU 0.10.0 in rawhide, but not 0.10.1, so I adjusted the
version in the relnotes. I copied the feature list from the 0.10.0
release announcement. If you'd care to suggest deletes or enhancements
of the list please do.
Yes, this is a very confusing - not least because it's going to change
before the release.
What we plan on shipping is a version of kvm-userspace which is based
off the qemu-0.10.x branch.
So - F11 will have qemu-0.10.1 at the very least.
The KVM changelog since 74 (version at initial F10 release) is quite
long and not easily digestible by me at this late hour. Would anyone
care to offer some highlights or fill them into the wiki? Or, again,
should those be folded into QEMU?
Pointing at the kvm ChangeLog is probably the best you can do, really.
There's added confusion there too - the kvm release changelog covers
both userspace and kernel space, and we don't ship a specific kernel kvm
version ... we ship whatever is in Linus releases.
= Libvirt =
I previously copied the list of changes from the releases, but did not
try to prune them down. It may be fine.
Pruning it down a little might be good - e.g. "gnulib updates" doesn't
tell people anything useful. Not a big deal, though.
Cheers,
Mark.
