* Multi host migration - 1 week to recap the patch that was sent by QA, improve on it, have an updated patch by then - lmr
== lmr ==


== Framework ==
=== TODO ===


* Libvirt integration - 1 week coordinating what it needs to be done, another 4 weeks (at least) implementing it - QA, lmr, mgoldish, help from libvirt developers
* Make cache=off the default for guest images
* Multi host migration
* Libvirt integration
* Add a BLOCKED status on the autotest database, that tells the user that some feature testing was left out due to a problem on its dependencies.
* Eventually get rid of all dependency on slirp/userspace networking to do any feature testing, since it is not a supported feature. Slipstreaming the kickstart in the install CD is a possibility, and it ends up being simpler than configuring an internal network thing for testing.
* Make it possible to install virtio nw driver under windows xp/2003 guests without having to resort to the msi installer
 
=== Partially done/ Blocked ===
 
* Include support for host kernel install on the KVM default control file - Using autotest standard API to get it done
** needs to resolve bugs in boottool to full functionality

* Fill the sections "Working with step files" and "Step file creation tips" in the wiki


* Make it possible to install virtio nw driver under windows xp/2003 guests without having to resort to the msi installer - assignee? Considerations: We would like to avoid slipstreaming the drivers in the iso cdrom, since we feel it is too messy. If after honest try we can't find another way, let's give slipstreaming a try.
