new version of app-emulation/libvirt
Thanks for the version bump notice. Assigning to maintainer
Please make sure this patch is included in the 0.7.7 ebuild: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=6d5c8a8f51db8ce97ab35ab6022dd5c94ab016b4 Otherwise USB device passthrough will not work. Upstream bugreport: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574136 Regards, Elias P.
I've created an updated ebuild including the patch which fixes the USB device passthrough issue: http://gitorious.org/gentoo-overlay-eliasp/gentoo-overlay-eliasp/trees/master/app-emulation/libvirt ChangeLog: 26 Mar 2010; Elias Probst <mail@eliasprobst.eu> +libvirt-0.7.7.ebuild, +files/libvirt-0.7.7-fix-usb-passthrough.patch, -libvirt-0.7.6-r1.ebuild, -files/libvirt-0.7.6-virt-pki-validate-sysconfdir.patch: Version bump (0.7.6-r1 → 0.7.7). Fix for upstream bug #574136.
I'm running now libvirt-0.7.7 on 2 of my production servers and it works fine so far. Maybe someone could take a look at the ebuild which I've provided and submit it to the tree if everything is fine with it.
Please add libvirt-0.7.7 to portage. I need it because I've been bitten by the incompatible disk-naming on host-side and guest-side. This bug is fixed in release 0.7.7. This is the error message I get (a lot of them!): Apr 6 22:40:18 wwwood2 libvirtd: 22:40:18.006: error : qemuMonitorTextGetBlockStatsInfo:698 : invalid argument in no stats found for device ide0-0-0 Apr 6 22:40:18 wwwood2 libvirtd: 22:40:18.012: error : qemuMonitorTextGetBlockStatsInfo:698 : invalid argument in no stats found for device ide0-1-0 Apr 6 22:40:19 wwwood2 libvirtd: 22:40:19.263: error : qemuMonitorTextGetBlockStatsInfo:698 : invalid argument in no stats found for device ide0-0-0 Apr 6 22:40:19 wwwood2 libvirtd: 22:40:19.270: error : qemuMonitorTextGetBlockStatsInfo:698 : invalid argument in no stats found for device ide0-1-0 Apr 6 22:40:19 wwwood2 libvirtd: 22:40:19.999: error : qemuMonitorTextGetBlockStatsInfo:698 : invalid argument in no stats found for device ide0-0-0 Apr 6 22:40:20 wwwood2 libvirtd: 22:40:20.004: error : qemuMonitorTextGetBlockStatsInfo:698 : invalid argument in no stats found for device ide0-1-0 ad infinitum...
Closing this out out for the libvirt-0.8.0 ticket. I've been gone for a while and unfortunately it appears that others didn't pick up maintenance. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 316559 ***
