[PATCHv2] Generate RFC4122 compliant UUIDs

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

 



Even though http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsMetadata
states that it requires RFC4122 compliance UUIDs that are generated
by virUUIDGenerate() are not. Following patch modifies generated
UUIDs to conform to rules described in RFC.
