Small Addendum

Leave a comment

Few days ago I converted one more 12.04 LTS host to Precise/Raring hybrid and my results were slightly different from my previous experience. Both systems were stable, no problems here, but I needed to install/update some additional packages, which were not required in the first case. So, my updated /etc/apt/preferences.d/libvirt file contains additional lines:

Package: libtasn1-3
Pin: release a=raring
Pin-Priority: 990

Package: qemu-kvm
Pin: release a=raring
Pin-Priority: 990

Package: qemu-common
Pin: release a=raring
Pin-Priority: 990

As for stability – it’s like I said – I have no complaints so far.

You have been warned… 🙂 Continue reading Testing new libvirt features on Ubuntu 12.04 →
