Where is update to Fedora-13 for Qemu-KVM?

[KC8LDO]

I've asked on the Fedora mailing list, send email to everybody I could find 
at Red Hat etc about this. I got one reply a few weeks ago from a Mr. Justin 
Forbes that read in part :

_____________________________________________________________________

It will be in the next update for F13.  I mistakinely thought it had made
the 0.12.5 stable release upstream, so did not apply seperately.  In the
meantime, there is a workaround, or you can use the F14 qemu from
virt-preview.

After that I haven't got any further response. Also the update as far as I 
can tell has never appeared either.

So the question is where are the updates to fix the boot failure problems 
when installing
Windows XP and 2000 in a VM for Fedora-13?

That's not very polite. If you need support, pay for a RHEL
subscription. Don't expect developers/maintainers to spend their time
on giving support for a free product, outside of the mailing lists. If
you don't want to pay for support, use the public channels for
communication.

Well, if it's important for you, then why don't you just use the
workaround or the virt-preview repository, like Justin suggests?
Downloading the QEMU package from the F14 virt-preview repository
sounds like a fix that should take a maximum of 2 minutes to apply...

The truth is, they haven't happened yet.  There was focus on F14 as we
moved towards release, and I have not had time to roll another F13
package specifically for this issue.  I apologize, when I said next
release, I didn't mean to imply that one was just around the corner.
Now that F14 is shipped, I do plan an F13 update soon.
