Hi
In general I agree with the patch series dropping g_error() in favour
of normal GError reporting, so programs can cope with errors.
However, it removes the forced logging and it's too easy for the
caller to ignore them, making it hard to track down when something
goes wrong.
I think this is even more relevant, because libvirt-glib is logging
*tons* of normal/useless runtime messages, and now we are making
silent the error messages. I would strongly prefer the other way
around.
I think one way of solving that issue would be to use g_warning
(withing libvirt-glib domains) when calling gvir_error_new_literal().
For the rest of the messages, I will eventually send patches to
remove/lower the one I am unhappy with that really clutter a debugging
session.
