CentOS virt - Jan 2017 - Updated libvirt packages (2.2.0-1) in testing

The CentOS 7.3 release updated to libvirt 2.0,  which is now taking
precedence over the previous virt sig libvirt packages (which were
1.3).

I've pulled in the changes from Fedora 25, which uses libvirt 2.2.0.
I've built and tested them for CentOS 7 and they work for me.  (I'm
having some infrastructure issue testing C6.)

Please test them if you have an opportunity.  I'll leave them there
for a week and then push them to release if I don't have any
complaints.

Thanks,
 -George

I have tried updating using yum update and get the same error as before:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem 
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I have tried the suggestions, but still no go. 
Anyone any ideas?

Hi Georges,

You should pick last libvirt packages directly from 
ftp://ftp.libvirt.org/libvirt/ as they maintain compatibility for both 
C6 and C7.

Jean-Marc

Did you enable the testing repo?

yum --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing update

Hmm -- I didn't realize that libvirt shipped their own source rpms.

There seem to be two distinct classes of users: those who want the
newest thing all the time, and those who want to stick with what's
working as long as possible before upgrading.  On the whole, CentOS
seems to be more focused on the second class of people.  So I was
looking to do a single version bump that we could stick with until the
next time there's a compelling reason to update.  Libvirt 2.2 the most
recent one used in any Fedora release.  As such, in terms
of"aftercare" like bug fixes, it will probably get better and for
longer than other releases.  So it seemed like a good option.

I'm open to other suggestions, but "update every release" is
probably
not suitable for the main Xen repo.  I wouldn't be opposed if someone
wanted to step up and maintain a repo themselves, though. :-)
