Hello,
I would like to continue this process in the SIG Virt. Any advice/steps which I should follow?
Thanks!
Douglas, we are not ignoring you. As it turns out there are quite a few unknown pieces related to the libvirt version for this SIG and there was also a discussion with Dan Kenigsberg at last week's Hackathon. I don't have the technical depth to go through your proposal. Added George.
So the problem at the moment is that the CentOS project is still in transition to being community-developed. Lars and I are officially running the SIG, but we don't yet have a way to create new packages for our SIG; and the core CentOS team is rather overwhelmed with trying to develop and set up this new system, manage all the SIGs, and prepare for CentOS 7.
So, rest assured that "create a qemu-kvm package with snapshot enabled" is on our to-do "short list", and won't be forgotten; but it may be a few months before the system is in place for non-core CentOS people to contribute new packages.
If you think this needs to happen sooner for some reason, we'll probably need to ask KB or Johnny to do it.

Thanks for the feedback George and Lars. As we have several users requesting such feature and there is a new oVirt release knocking the door I would like to continue with KB or Johnny.

KB / Johnny,
Douglas is trying to get a package for qemu-kvm into the Virt SIG which has snapshotting enabled. It looks like he wants an exact rebuild of the RH qemu-kvm package with a single additional config option. Original instructions here:
http://marc.info/?l=centos-virt&m=140077626420251
They seem keen to get this in sooner rather than later. Is there yet a way for me to create a new package for the Virt SIG that you could brief me on? Alternately, could one of the core CentOS team take a bit of time sometime in the next few weeks to build such a package?
I tried to build the qemu-kvm package on git.centos.org, hoping to be able to just give you guys a functional repo you could use, but the c6 branch of the repo on git.centos.org seems to be empty.
Thanks, -George
