I think we were supportive of the V-Server patch too. The discussion was only about the XML format used. In general adding support for new hypervisors in libvirt is a good idea, this means less effort at the tool level. The most confusing seems the small twaeks needed at the XML format to adapt to specifics of the hypervisors/virtualization, but hopefully with the new format documentation this should get clearer now, Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard@xxxxxxxxxx | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
