Stefan,Not yet. I run Gentoo Linux, and I try to keep my system really clean by not having manually installed packages. However, if you would like some independent testing, I can tinker with it. I have to figure out the ins and outs of GIT first, though. I do my own stuff with SVN and have not learned git yet.On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 2:22 PM, Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Stefan, David,
Thank you very much for this functionality. As a side-effect, it solves a problem that I needed addressed: namely, to know via Sys-Virt, the IP address associated with a virtual machine (without having to grovel through the DHCP lease file, out of band).
that's great to hear. Did you test them?
Stefan
The latest libvirt in Gentoo is version "0.9.10-r4". Ignoring the "-r4", 9.10 is about 2 months old, correct? So I might be waiting a while for this patch to make it to my portage tree.
Is there a specific git command line that I should use to pull a specific libvirt code set, or should I just go for the head / bleeding edge?
There is a potential bug [1] in the Gentoo package that tracks the libvirt git repository. I will wait a few days for the Gentoo folks to sort it out. If not, I will remove the Gentoo libvirt package and install the latest from git manually. I intend to test this feature and provide feedback for you. Again, thank you for this feature. I understand that your implementation is to address a network security concern.
I intend to expand to apache/mod_perl/Sys-Virt/libvirt management tool to concurrently monitor QEMU and LXC. It would be nice if I could get the IP address for each virtual system in a uniform way. I do not know if this is a feasible feature to request. I will already have to work around the differences between QEMU and LXC in code, so this isn't a huge deal. Just a suggestion for a possible future feature.
