Hi,
I have opened some bugs about VDSM dependencies that cannot be satisfied in the ppc64, these include newer versions of QEMU, libvirt and libguestfs.

The first issue is the lack of a libguestfs package for Fedora Core 19 and 20, this is being worked on. Another issue is that in order to support the 3.4 cluster compatibility level, VDSM requires a newer version of libvirt than the one shipped with FC19, which cannot be found anywhere for ppc64. The final issue is a bug in QEMU 1.4.2 that prevents VMs created through libvirt from running, this was fixed in later versions but also there is not a package for FC19 that has this fix.
So, what do you suggest? Should a virt-preview repo be created for ppc64? What about RHEL6?
virt-preview would be an option, if I had ppc64 hardware to do the builds :)
ppc-koji? http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/
Or maybe these packages should be fixed and published as updates for the current releases of FC and RHEL?
Our policy is not to rebase qemu or libvirt to a new version in stable fedora releases, since the risk of regressions is just too high. And generally there is a new fedora version every 6 months so telling people to wait for new features isn't typically a stretch.
No idea about RHEL though.
