[virt-tools-list] will virt-manager 0.8.6 appear in the Fedora 14 virt-preview repo soon?

[Grant Williamson]

I see there are in rawhide, if you rebuild the libvirt 0.8.7 add the patch from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=476100&action=diff&context=patch&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw

Sound works nicely, copy and paste not yet.
