Actually I don't see libvirt rpms in the virt7-xen-44-testing repo. Which
libvirt rpms should I be testing?

Currently I have these installed:

virt-viewer-0.6.0-12.el7.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-16.el7_1.4.x86_64
virt-manager-common-1.1.0-12.el7.noarch
libvirt-client-1.2.8-16.el7_1.4.x86_64
libvirt-python-1.2.8-7.el7_1.1.x86_64

Which libvirt rpms should I be testing?
Oh, weird -- well I had it tagged for -candidate, but not for
-testing.  Probably because I hadn't even done a smoke test on it. :-)

Anyway, I've tagged it now.

Yes, I've been doing work on the centos-release-xen package, and the
release number at the end has to change with every update.  Once we
get centos-release-xen in mirrors, the "bootstrapping" problem should
basically go away.

The latest version is actually -9 -- let me give that a quick
smoke-test and push it to -testing.

OK. I can now see the libvirt 1.2.15-3.el7 rpms in the virt7-xen-44-testing
repo,
but it seems yum still doesn't pick them up:

# yum clean all
# yum --enablerepo=virt-xen-44-testing update
..
No packages marked for update

# rpm -qa | grep -i libvirt-daemon-1
libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-16.el7_1.4.x86_64


I guess I'll install those 1.2.15-3.el7 rpms manually.


Thanks,
