If= =20 you are interested in something stable I recommend staying with the=20 distribution provided setup (and picking a distribution that has an=20 emphasis on kvm). If you want to track upstream, use qemu-kvm-0.12.x=20 stable releases and kernel.org 2.6.x.y stable releases. If you want to= =20 track git repositories, use qemu-kvm.git and kvm.git for the kernel and= kvm. --=20 error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
