Latest kvm packages for CentOS 5.3

Latest kvm packages for CentOS 5.3

[Federico Simoncelli]

Hi all,
I've been working quite extensively with kvm on CentOS 5.3 lately.
If you are interested in the latest rpm of kvm-kmod-2.6.30-rc8,
qemu-kvm-0.10.5 and libvirt-0.6.4 you can temporary find them here:

http://update.nethesis.it/kvm/

I've had no problem so far using these packages.
Feedback is welcome.

RHEL5.4 is expected to have KVM support, so it would be nice to know in 
advance which version is being included with RHEL 5.4. Then we can update 
our own CentOS kvm kmod for testing and reporting upstream the issue(s) we 
still find.

Today the kvm module is still missing from the upstream 2.6.18-152.el5 
kernel, just as fuse which is also expected to appear.

That version info will become available when RHEL-5.4 beta ships in the 
not too distant future...
