Zdenek - I'd be very happy to have a Slackware port of netcf, and would

have been 4 other people who started netcf ports (debian, arch linux,
suse, and (believe it or not, MS Windows)), but so far none has followed
through to actually pushing something into the main netcf git.
just wait a second; did you actually say "patches"? :) What is the
original platform/distro of NetCF?
It shouldn't matter if they've pushed changes or not as long as those
are public somewhere.
Anyway, I gave it # ./configure; go and found out 'augeas', whatever
that is, is "missing". And I expect more to come.
I can give it look over the weekend(no, I don't expect it to be done
over the weekend - look :]).
Slackware guest shouldn't be a problem. It's just like any other
GNU/Linux. Setup partition, run setup, key stroke, key stroke, Install
everything? [Yes], done :D j/k

The first step would be to subscribe to the netcf-devel mailing list:
Done.
I can help you out figuring out which bits need replacing for a
different platform (although I'm afraid I probably can't be much help
with what they should be replaced with :-)
Sounds great. I probably should note I'm more like # ./configure && make
&& ... && makepkg; and some hack-n-slash person.
It doesn't mean anything else than just making things clear(so much for
expectations) :)

Meant really like build options eg. must have netcf/iSCSI/... support.
Speaking of that, I don't know if you noticed, but support for
IPv6
virtual networks was added in this release. However, in order for it to
all work properly, you need to have the following binaries installed on
the build machine (autoconfigure finds them and etches their paths into
the libvirtd binary):
No, I haven't. I pay very little attention to an IPv6, because of many
things and many excuses(it doesn't mean I wouldn't like to). So it's
likely - no.
command package
------- -------
ip (iproute)
check
ip6tables (iptables-ipv6)
check
radvd (radvd)
fail ... what the hell is that? :) Rhetorical
question, I can find out
by myself ;)
and of course a couple that were already required:
iptables (iptables)
check
dnsmasq (dnsmasq)
check
I know about these two already(I made post regarding dnsmasq some time
ago) :)
Have a nice day,
Zdenek
