So I am not sure I see a potential conflict. Being able to backport patches to older libvirt releases is not the issue we are concerned about - that is actually usually not an important consideration. What *is* important is the ability to build and run the new libvirt releases on older platforms. For example, if the upstream release containing your patches were built on CentOS6.3 or RHEL6.3, the dhcp6 functionality wouldn't be available, because those distros are stuck at dnsmasq-2.48. That's okay as long as all the pre-existing functionality still works properly on those distros. Eliminating radvd in favor of using dnsmasq for ipv6 ra and autoconf would *not* be acceptable, though, because if the release containing that patch were built on RHEL6/CentOS6, it would mean a regression in behavior, since IPv6 autoconf/ra would cease to work. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
