I would say: rebuild libvirt locally from the source rpms provided on libvirt.org FTP, using for example 0.6.3. Then start developping your code against those, until you get to update RHEL-5 to Update 4 in the next months, then use native kernel and libvirt build, then you will have KVM support. > I'd rather go for the redhat stock kernels, to save time in the future, but > stability and compatibility is important. Hence my proposal. > Also, does the libvirt API changes alot? Only additions, ABI and API compatibility is preserved, but forward only, don't use 0.6.4 or 0.7.0 only features as they won't be in RHEL-5 update 4.
