It probably isn't that hard - merely alot of tedious work - which is why it hasn't been done. If you do want to work on it, don't feel you need to implement everything - even just making a small start for a particular type of device (eg host PCI devicecs), would be useful and set a foundation for future work Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
