==== sVirt 0.20 Patch Request for Comments ====
[[JamesMorris|James Morris]] announced[1] "the release of v0.20 (FWN#149[2]) of sVirt, a project to add security labeling support to Linux-based virtualization. I'm hoping to be able to propose an initial version for upstream merge
within the next few minor releases, tasks for which are being scoped out
in the new TODO list[3]."
 
"If the current release passes review, the next major task will be to add
dynamic MCS labeling of domains and disk images for simple isolation."


[[DanielBerrange|Daniel P. Berrange]] said "this patch all looks pretty good to me from a the point of view of libvirt integration & XML config representation."

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
