The actual network def was updated to save the bridge name back in 1.2.11: commit a3609121799d44898a3e0d0bf92b755e55e7b418 Author: Laine Stump <laine@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 21 12:20:37 2014 -0500 network: save bridge name in ActualNetDef when actualType==network too The chance that someone is running libvirt < 1.2.11 and wants todo a live upgrade to 5.3.0 without a host reboot is essentially zero. We can thus reasonably drop the back compat code now. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
