questions regarding modular daemons

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I've procrastinated long enough and finally decided to switch to modular daemons in openSUSE Factory libvirt package. For the most part, the Factory spec file mimics the upstream one. I enabled with_modular_daemons and would like to confirm the results of my testing.

When upgrading an existing installation running the monolithic daemon, the monolithic daemon is still enabled after the upgrade. I suppose this behavior is expected, and fine IMO.

However, when installing the "modularized" packages on a system with no prior installation, the monolithic daemon is still installed and potentially enabled in posttrans. Having both the monolithic and modular daemons installed, along with all associated systemd socket and service files, is a bit confusing to users IMO. E.g. should one enable libvirtd sockets, virtqemud sockets, both?

Is the intention, over time, to remove the monolithic daemon? Perhaps we could start by isolating the monolithic daemon in the libvirt-daemon subpackage and moving the other daemons (virtproxyd, virtlogd, virtlockd, etc) to a new subpackage? The modular daemons could then drop the libvirt-daemon dependency, allowing installation without the monolithic daemon.

TIA for your comments.

Regards,
Jim
