Is kvm-guest-drivers-linux.git still live? Is virtio-serial included?

Hi,
To support linux guests with old kernel version, vitio driver backport is needed. But I cannot find kvm-guest-drivers-linux.git now.

Quoted 1 line

From linux distributions' virtio backport versions, such as

virtio-0.1-18.el3.src.rpm for RHEl3 hat and novell-virtio-drivers-2.6.27-sle10sp3.iso for SLES 10 sp3, virtio-serial driver is not included.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Hongyong

It is dead.

Most distributions do have drivers. For the ones that don't, I suggest contacting the vendor and requesting a backport.
