Oneiric is old hat. I'm cool with 0.9.5. If someone wants to spend time building an inferior (i.e. that requires more downtime during snapshotting) implementation that works with older versions of libvirt, that's fine, but as a project, my view is: There's excellent free software available that enables us to build cooler things faster. We should use it. Besides, libvirt 0.9.5 has been out for over 6 months. It's not *that* new. -- Soren Hansen | http://linux2go.dk/ Senior Software Engineer | http://www.cisco.com/ Ubuntu Developer | http://www.ubuntu.com/ OpenStack Developer | http://www.openstack.org/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
