= Virtualization Preview Repository =

== Why? ==

If you're running F11 and you want to help test latest virt bits, but
you don't want to run rawhide.

== How? ==

  $> cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-virt-preview.repo << EOF
  [virt-preview]
  name=Virtualization Rawhide for Fedora 11
  baseurl=http://markmc.fedorapeople.org/virt-preview/f11/\$basearch/
  enabled=1
  gpgcheck=0
  EOF
  $> yum update

== Bugs? ==

Do be prepared for bugs. These are rawhide bits, so it's common to
see regressions. 

Please file bugs against the appropriate component using the Fedora
product and rawhide version. Make it clear that you're using a
version from the preview repository:

== ToDo? ==

 - get createrepo installed on fedorapeople.org

 - include debuginfo packages in the repo (need more quota)

 - find a better location than markmc.fedorapeople.org

 - enable package builders to upload directly to the repo

 - automatically do preview build/upload for devel/ builds

 - allow building against preview packages; e.g. for language bindings

 - package signing

== Are you crazy? ==

Yes. Of course.
