And that users don't need debugging features is wrong too. Think bug reports: Asking some user which reports a bug to flip some config bit to enable debug logging usually works fine. Asking them to rebuild the app to compile in debug logging usually doesn't fly. cheers, Gerd -- http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/xenner/ -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
