To better understand my rant, a bit of context with the original patch proposal (whose message is also contained in the commit I pointed to): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-April/msg01062.html If you wonder why I react so late, this is because libvirt 3.0.0 landed in Debian Stretch (Jessie had 1.2.9!), and I just recently upgraded to it. > With network interfaces up by default, stateless containers can be > easily auto-configured through the network with SLAAC, without any > specific configuration from the host system. Of course, as a workaround I can use "<link state='up'/>", but I think it ought to be the default, hence my request. -- Benjamin Cama - Tél : 258 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
