libvirt users - Sep 2011 - How to install libvirt 0.9.4 RPM on Fedora 14?

Hi,

I'm trying to install the newest version of libvirt and libvirt-client from 
the rpms at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ on a Fedora 14 machine. The naming of 
the rpms as "libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm" suggests that this is
exactly
the system this was made for, however, installation still does not go 
smoothly.
When I try to install these packages with

yum install libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm \ 
libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm

, some of the dependencies get resolved automatically, but not all of them, 
and I get these error messages:

Error: Package: libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64 (/libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64)
           Requires: libblktapctl.so.1.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: libvirt-client-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64 (/libvirt-
client-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64)
           Requires: libnetcf.so.1(NETCF_1.4.0)(64bit)
Error: Package: libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64 (/libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64)
           Requires: libnetcf.so.1(NETCF_1.4.0)(64bit)

Apparently, I need newer versions of netcf-libs and xen-libs. Where do I get 
these from? There don't appear to be any official rpms or that for Fedora 
14...

Regards,

	Guido

libvirt-0.9.4 uses netcf APIs that were added in netcf-0.1.9. I had made 
Fedora 14 and Fedora 15 builds of netcf-0.1.9 last month, but forgot to 
push them to stable (and they weren't autopushed because nobody gave 
them karma). I just did this now, so as long as you have the updates 
repo turned on, sometime later today you should be able to "yum
update"
and get the version of netcf you need to run libvirt-0.9.4.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the version of xen-libs. My F14 box 
(which has updates, updates-testing, and virt-preview repos all enabled) 
has xen-libs-4.0.2, which seems to be new enough to build and install 
the newest libvirt, but it looks like it doesn't have that file (or else 
I'm looking in the wrong place).
