As I said, we give distros enough time and that should be more than enough upstream could do. i-e these exact details are irrelevant to me. Since they are very relevant to you, I'd suggest you do the research and then let me know which solution you want and I will implement that. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) ________________________________________ Befriend GNOME: http://www.gnome.org/friends/ [1] As I already mentioned already, it's very unlikely that any distro would want to upgrade Boxes and libvirt-glib to latest version but not want to update to even an year older libvirt. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
