Hi all,
This is for anyone using the Homebrew package management system on Mac
OS X. :)
A first working (but still experimental) libvirt formula is online:
http://github.com/justinclift/libvirt
It includes the libvirt text mode client (virsh), and the libvirt
development libraries.
If you have time to test it and report success/failure/(etc), please do.
Be aware, for the moment, it pulls down a tarred up snapshot of libvirt
git, with a few trivial patches applied to make compiling work:
What works:
+ Remote connections using TLS (qemu+tls://) <-- encrypted
+ Remote connections using TCP (qemu+tls://) <-- not encrypted!
What doesn't work:
+ Remote connections using SSH (qemu+ssh://), if the server has
PolicyKit enabled. (possible bug, will look into it)
In theory, this means connecting to Ubuntu server should work,
as that uses groups to control access rather than PolicyKit.
Haven't tried it though, so if you do, please let me know how
it goes. ;)
Testing and feedback is encouraged. The aim here is to have the libvirt
client (virsh) plus development libraries work properly on OS X.
Please note, I'm new to OS X, github, and Homebrew, so if you notice
things that should be done better/differently/etc, please let me know. :)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
