If the people doing the backporting are more or less libvirt developers, it might be a good trade for them in the long run. > > With regards, > Daniel > -- > |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| > |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| > |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| > -- Kind regards / Beste Grüße Marc Hartmayer IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Wolfgang Wendt Geschäftsführung: David Faller Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294 _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
