  Okay, so I build the package for F-8 based on the spec file for F-9
You can get it here
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=852116

Since this is really for testing ATM I disabled the automatic push to
stable based on karma as I'm still afraid of the risk:

  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libvirt-0.4.6-1.fc8

Give it a try, and please comment back on the package,

  thanks,

Daniel
