Mitre tried to assign us two separate CVEs for the fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047577, on the grounds that the fixes were separated by more than an hour and thus triggered different hourly snapshots. But we explicitly do NOT want to treat transient security bugs as CVEs if they can only be triggered by patches in libvirt.git but where the problem is cleaned up before a formal release. Meanwhile, I noticed that while our wiki mentioned maintenance branches and releases, our formal documentation did not. * docs/downloads.html.in: Contrast hourly snapshots with maintenance branches.

<h2><a name="releases">Official Releases</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest versions of the libvirt C library can be downloaded from:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li>

<h2><a name="hourly">Hourly development snapshots</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once an hour, an automated snapshot is made from the git server
|
|
source tree. These snapshots should be usable, but we make no guarantees
|
|
about their stability; furthermore, they should NOT be
|
|
considered formal releases, and they may have transient security
|
|
problems that will not be assigned a CVE.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-git-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li>
|

|
|
</ul>

|
<h2><a name="maintenance">Maintenance releases</a></h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the git repository are several stable maintenance branches,
|
|
matching the
|
|
pattern <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i>-maint</code>;
|
|
these branches are forked off the corresponding
|
|
<code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i></code> formal
|
|
release, and may have further releases of the
|
|
form <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i>.<i>rel</i></code>.
|
|
These maintenance branches should only contain bug fixes, and no
|
|
new features, backported from the master branch, and are
|
|
supported as long as at least one downstream distribution
|
|
expresses interest in a given branch. These maintenance
|
|
branches are considered during CVE analysis.

<h1>libvirt Application Development Guide</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The guide is both a learning tool for developing with libvirt and an
|
|
API reference document. It is a work in progress, composed by a
|
|
professional author from contributions written by members of the
|
|
libvirt team.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contributions to the guide are <b>VERY</b> welcome. If you'd like to get
|
|
your name on this and demonstrate your virtualisation prowess, a solid
|
|
contribution to the content here will do it. :)
