Topic
An updated python-virtinst package that fixes one bug is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The python-virtinst module helps build and install libvirt based virtual
machines. It provides several command line utilities, such as virt-clone, which
clones existing virtual machine images with the libvirt library.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The python-virtinst module often called the ifconfig program unnecessarily
when parsing a domain XML file. If a domain contained many "direct" network
interfaces, the virt-manager application responded so slowly that it could not
be used properly. With this update, the redundant ifconfig calls have been
removed from the code, and virt-manager now works well even with large number of
"direct" network interfaces. (BZ#726615)
All users of python-virtinst are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
