So really just trying to understand what the release roadmap is. Right
now its been about 8 months since the last release of virtinst and
virt-manager. There's 37 patches in virtinst since the last release
and virt-manger has 42. Depending on the time frame of the GTK+3.2
branch release, I think there's an advantage to doing a virtinst
0.600.4 and virt-manager 0.9.5. But there's really 3 ways to go. A
basic bug fix release, looking at all the distros we're all carrying
anywhere from half-dozen to a dozen patches or a full master release
or wait until the GTK+ 3.2 release is ready. I'll be glad to put
together the proposed patchset for the bug fix release and send it to
the list if that's the route people want to go.
I believe there are a few stoppers before a new virt-manager based on the
gtrk3.2 branch can be released.
1. virt-manager-tui is broken.
2. The Gtk/Gdk color stuff does not work.
Can you be more specific here? I don't know what you mean offhand.
Color stuff: createnet.py was using modify_base() instead of
modify_bg(). I corrected this in my "IPv6" patches and found that all
the other code had already fix the problem.
virt-manager-tui broken: from a git-clone and checkout in gtkl3.2, I do
./virt-manager-tui, select network administration and then select list,
I get:

While you can run the new virt-manager from a clone of the git, there appear
to be a few things to be done so that it can be distributed as a tarball or
rpm. I believe that python-distutils-extra is being used in place of
autotools for packaging but I have no idea how to do that.
In general the gui side does work and I have had few problems implementing my
future patch/patches to implement IPv6 support and a few other things dealing
with networking and the glade-3 ui's.
Right, the gtk3 branch isn't quite ready, but it's in a close enough state
that I'm happy to cut a final gtk2 release and commit to the next release
being based on the gtk3 merge work.
BTW: Icons ... do you know where I need to change so that icons and
other png images are found?
