[fedora-virt] Fedora virt status January 2014

[Cole Robinson]

Hey all, here are some virt related status bits for January.

  Fedora 21
  =========

Typically we would be into the next Fedora cycle by now, but big changes are
be discussed in Fedora land which is pushing the next schedule out. Word is
that F21 won't be out until at least August:

The big changes are all under the umbrella of Fedora.next:

Working groups have been setup to define different 'products' for cloud,
server, and workstation/desktop use cases. PRDs and charters are being
written. But right now it's not entirely clear what the end result is going to
look like. So things are still quite in flux.


  Libvirt 1.2.1 released
  ======================

Libvirt 1.2.1 was released on January 16th. Major changes include:

* Support for qemu's pvpanic device
* Event support for virtual networks
* CPU pinning support for libxml
* Several CVE fixes

Full changelog is here:

  Bugs of note
  ============

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1031696
libvirt-guests.service is broken in F20

Although it isn't documented in that bug, systemd devs have added some
infrastructure upstream that libvirt can use to fix things. Will take
time though...

Thanks,
Cole
