When editing a domain with 'virsh edit' and failing validation, the

The option 'f' (force) is pretty unusable.  It tries to step into the
same puddle again and again when it can at least try to force the
definition.

The idea behind force was, that imagine two virshes running. In both you
start editing the same domain. In one you successfully save the changes
and domain XML is regenerated. However, the other one notices this and
ask you, that domain definition has changed meanwhile, if you want to
continue. And by choosing 'force' you can use the force, Luke.


I had no idea this could be a use case, the only thing I could think
of is that if it fails, I am running bad daemon, so I run the right
one and force it, but that never worked (the disconnection breaks the
re-edit), so I thought it's pretty pointless.

I can add a new letter for toggling validation if you'd rather see that.


This patch adds support for relaxing definition in virsh-edit and makes
'virsh edit <domain>' more usable, mainly for testing.

What could happen to the EDIT_RELAX to be undefined? I mean, it'll be
defined no matter what (since you're defining it here in this patch).


I define it only when editing a domain (although I forgot to undefine
it afterwards).

ACK though.


waiting for your opinion.  I'm also thinking about revriting it so we
don't have to include a .c file.
