Description of problem: virt-what 1.18 was released today: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2017-July/msg00172.html Currently RHEL 7.4 carries a downstream version of virt-what which basically consists of all the upstream commits (before 2017/02) without any version number changes: http://git.annexia.org/?p=virt-what.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/rhel-7.4 In other words: It's a rebase in all but name. It may be better to actually rebase virt-what instead, and since virt-what 1.18 will be in Fedora for 3 or 4 months before RHEL 7.5 comes out it should get plenty of testing. virt-what has an upstream stable ABI policy so there should be no regressions by doing this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Current: virt-what-1.13-10.el7 Intended: virt-what 1.18
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.
