KB / Johnny,

Douglas is trying to get a package for qemu-kvm into the Virt SIG
which has snapshotting enabled.  It looks like he wants an exact
rebuild of the RH qemu-kvm package with a single additional config
option.  Original instructions here:

http://marc.info/?l=centos-virt&m=140077626420251

They seem keen to get this in sooner rather than later.  Is there yet
a way for me to create a new package for the Virt SIG that you could
brief me on?  Alternately, could one of the core CentOS team take a
bit of time sometime in the next few weeks to build such a package?

I tried to build the qemu-kvm package on git.centos.org, hoping to be
able to just give you guys a functional repo you could use, but the c6
branch of the repo on git.centos.org seems to be empty.

Thanks,
 -George
