In the Liberty version of OpenStack we had a min libvirt of 0.9.11 and printed a warning on startup if you had < 0.10.2, to the effect that Mitaka will required 0.10.2 This mail is a reminder that we will[1] mandate libvirt >= 0.10.2 when Mitaka is released. Looking forward to the Nxxxx release, I am suggesting that we target a new min libvirt of 1.1.1 for that cycle. Based on info in https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/LibvirtDistroSupportMatrix this will exclude the following distros running running Nova Nxxx release: - Fedora 20 - it will be end-of-life way before Nxxx is released - RHEL 6 - Red Hat stopped shipping Nova on RHEL-6 after Icehouse and base distro only supports Python 2.6 - OpenSUSE 12 - this was end-of-life about 6 months ago now - SLES 11 - base distro only supports Python 2.6 - Debian Wheezy - Debian Jessie is current stable, and Wheezy-backports provides new enough libvirt for people who wish to stay on Wheezy The min distros required would thus be Fedora 21, RHEL 7.0, OpenSUSE 13 SLES 12, Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty LTS) Regards, Daniel [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/231917/ -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
