hi, after a long time it seems the current packages which needed for kvm on centos-5 host seems to working (ie. worth to change). my repo: http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/5/SRPMS/ contains the current set of rpms what we use (about a week): ----------------------------- libvirt-0.6.0-1 python-virtinst-0.400.1-1 virt-manager-0.6.1-1 virt-top-1.0.1-7.el5 virt-viewer-0.0.3-3 qemu-img-0.9.1-12 kvm-83-1 kmod-kvm-83-1 etherboot-5.4.4-8 ----------------------------- you can download x86_64 binary rpms too. these are mostly the fedora src.rpms rebuild on el5 with small modifications. imho it'd be useful to add centos's extras repo too, since these are a huge step even for the current rhel-5.3's rpms and the current kvm-36 which is in extras. these are usable on centos-5.2, so can be added to it's extras repo, but there will be some patches in the coming centos-5.3's kernel-2.6.18-128.el5 (eg. virtio) which has some more benefit too. any comments? how are willing to add it to centos? yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Since there does not seem to be much movement here upstream, I think it would be useful to test a new batch of KVM packages. Of course, any packages that upgrade CentOS packages can only potentially be in CentOS-plus. Take care, Daniel
