Thanks everybody for the testing feedback and fixes, in retrospect I should really had done this in previous releases ! So the third rc tarball is out, it's likely to be the last one before the release (within 48 hours): ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.8.8-rc3.tar.gz give it a try ! thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel(a)veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
