Fedora 16 It is time to start planning for the Fedora 16 release. What features are going to be proposed? What does the community want to see from Fedora 16 virtualiation?
== Updates Needing review == The following packages are in updates-testing and need review and karma as appropriate:
F14: - libguestfs-1.8.7-1.fc14 New stable version 1.8.7 with several small bugfixes.
F15: There are no virt packages in updates-testing at this time.
== Virt Preview Repository == The virt-preview repository is now active for F14 users wishing to run the latest F15 virt packages on their stable F14 systems. F13 virt-preview users will still get the latest F14 packages. For details on how to run enable virt-preview, please see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository
== Bugs of importance: == - 700560 F15 virt-manager gui locks/freezes in the default storage pool There is a bug which states that sym-linked storage pools will lock virt-manager, and now reports that the default storage pool does as well.
- 674530 Change CDROM of guest, new CD is truncated to the size of the old Installing a very old guest which requires several CDs, the CD size is truncated to the size of the first CD. This issue has been resolved upstream and will be in the next qemu update.
- 693530 Qemu does the wrong thing with Cache=None and looks like corruption btrfs complains about corruption when Windows guests do certain types of writes with cache=none. This is really a btrfs issue, qemu behaves as expected.

libguestfs and virt-v2v users: Is there anything we should aim for in libguestfs / virt-v2v in the Fedora 16 timeframe?
Off the top of my head:
- inspection stuff in virt-manager
https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/inspection-in-virt-manager-4/
- virt-clone fixed
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2011-May/msg00019.html
- guests by default are given libguestfs live access (guestfish --live etc)
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#attaching_to_running_daemons
- virt-p2v with the couple of outstanding issues fixed
I'm not sure that any of these are really worthy of a Fedora feature though.

I know you have been working on a GUI for libguestfs. It would be nice to have a reasonably functional GUI for libguestfs in Fedora 16.
TYL,

I'm looking for a maintainer for guestfs-browser ...

Xen dom0 support out-of-the-box with the vanilla fedora kernel!
Mainline Linux (2.6.40-rcX) already contains the "last missing bit", which is the xen-blkback backend block device driver.
Linux 2.6.39 added xen-netback driver, and the 'xen dom0 core' was merged in 2.6.37. More info/changelog here: http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps
