Yes, until RHEL 8.5 the latest-and-greatest virt packages used to be shipped within Advanced Virtualization. But since AV packages are part of RHEL now, there's no need for updating the SIG anymore because RHEL has the most updated packages and, by consequence, c8s should have those builds too.

Hello,

I've noticed that the latest c8s repos ship libvirt/qemu-kvm (and other related things) newer than the advanced virtualization repository… which brings me to a question if it is still worth using those builds or not?

I've been trying to dig into some mailing list conversations (which are pretty much non-existent at this point) and IRC meetings (which I did not see in October, but found one in November[1]). Found only mention that libvirt/qemu will not be available for power arches since c9s and that's what probably virt sig will build (if my understanding of meeting minutes are correct).

Any piece of information would be very helpful :)
