_virt-what_ rebased to version 1.18
The _virt-what_ packages have been updated to upstream version 1.18, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Notably, the *virt-what* utility can now detect the following guest virtual machine types:
* Guests running on an 64-bit ARM host and booted using the Advanced Configuration and Power Interfaces.
* Guests running on the oVirt or Red Hat Virtualization hypervisor.
* Guests running on an IBM POWER7 host that uses logical partitioning (LPAR).
* Guests running on the FreeBSD bhyve hypervisor.
* Guests running on an IBM z Systems host that uses the KVM hypervisor.
* Guests emulated using the QEMU Tiny Code Generator (TCG).
* Guests running on the OpenBSD virtual machine monitor (VMM) service.
* Guests running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform.
* Guests running on the Oracle VM Server for SPARC platform.
In addition, the following bugs have been fixed:
* The *virt-what* utility no longer fails on platforms that do not use the System Managemement BIOS (SMBIOS).
* *virt-what* now works correctly even if the $PATH variable is not set.

Some other bugs which would be fixed by the rebase: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1472871 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1455676 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467878 FWIW, just a note related to s390x: To support KVM on s390x in virt-what, we need http://git.annexia.org/?p=virt-what.git;a=commitdiff;h=89c3d9e094934405266688d2061fe1105863ca17 ... so this should be fixed by the rebase to version 1.18, too. (In the unlikely case that the rebase does not happen, we should remember to backport that patch instead) Rich, can you please provide text for release notes? Thanks. Verified with the package: virt-what-1.18-4.el7 Automation test result: https://polarion.engineering.redhat.com/polarion/#/project/RedHatEnterpriseLinux7/testrun?id=libguestfs-1_36_10-6_el7%20RHEL-7_5-20180125_0%20x86_64%202018-01-27%2018-21-48 Manual test result: https://polarion.engineering.redhat.com/polarion/#/project/RedHatEnterpriseLinux7/testrun?id=libguestfs-1_36_10-3_el7%20RHEL-7_5-20171130_0%20manual%20test%20run Result: PASSED Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
