I have now done alot more work on this all, including merging the virtinst code. The source code layout is now thus: * All the python programs: src/virt-manager.in src/virt-manager-tui.in src/virt-install src/virt-image src/virt-clone src/virt-convert * What used to be the virtinst/ APIs src/virtManager/installer/*.py * What used to be the virtconv APIs src/virtManager/convertor/*.py * What used to be the virtManagerTui APIs src/virtManager/newt/*.py * Any API which uses the Gtk library src/virtManager/gtk/*.py * Remaining code shared between GTK & Newt UIs src/virtManager/*.py The test suite from virtinst is in tests/ as before. Due to splicing the history of python-virtinst into the virt-manager GIT repository, it isn't practical to git send-email this patch series (unless you want to receive an email flood with every single previous virtinst commit :-). So I have prepared a branch with the code https://gitorious.org/~berrange/virt-tools/virt-manager-staging/commits/gobject In terms of RPMS we get: virt-manager - The GTK frontend & virtManager.gtk modules virt-manager-tui - The Newt frontend & virtManger.newt modules virt-manager-common - virtManager.installer, virtManager.convertor and virtManager modules. Also PO files virt-install - The text based scripts (obsoletes/provides python-virtinst) 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 :|
