Cole,
I am adding a PCIe accelerator with CPUs and a NIC.
Is there any plan to change the procedure for users to add virt-manager
UI support for a device without code change?
My concern is that as new libvirt source changes are released, I have to
maintain one or more patches.

Hello,
I am adding a custom PCI device to virt-manager. I have edited
virt-manager source (addhardware.py ,__init__.py ,addhardware.ui, device.py)
so the custom device will appear in "Add Hardware" window of virt-manager.
Now it looks like I have to edit libvirt qemu capabilities
(qemu_capabilities.c libvirt.c)
to support the device. Is this the right procedure for adding custom devices?
I was expecting to edit an XML file or other config file rather than source code.

What is the device you are trying to add?
If you are just trying to attach a device to a libvirt VM, use 'sudo virsh
edit $vmname' and add your XML
But if you are trying to extend virt-manager to have UI support for a device
type that it does not already support, you will need to edit code like you say.
What device are you trying to add?
