Bug Description
[SRU]
Impact:
Newer Ubuntu releases aren't available in virt-install or virt-manager.
Fixed with minimal patch that adds missing releases.
Regression potential:
Not much. If broken, I suppose virtinst would either fail to properly install one of the added releases.
Test case:
- Open virt-manager
- Click new to install a new VM
- See if new releases are available in the drop down
- (Optionally) try to install new releases

This is what I get on a Raring host:

From an irc discussion:
<smoser> is there any reason we wouldn't want virtinst to use/depend-on python-distro-info ?specific configuration
<mdeslaur> smoser: the cirrus driver no longer works with raring, for example
<smoser> well, that could be handled.
<smoser> well, at least at this point it seems like a simple set of rules works there.
ubuntu > hardy : VIRTIO_NET
ubuntu > jaunty: VIRTIO_DISK
<smoser> ubuntu > raring: VMVGA_VIDEO
<mdeslaur> smoser: likely either saucy+1 or one of the later ones should switch to SPICE
not sure which one
but yeah, I see what you're getting at
I'll think about it, and poke at it
<mdeslaur> smoser: I'm liking the python-distro-info idea, thanks
