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.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063799
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1057557
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1064438

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?
Or maybe these packages should be fixed and published as updates for the current releases of FC and RHEL?

Thanks,
Vitor
