Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] XML: Escape double-hyphens in XML comment

To quote <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-comments>;: > For compatibility, the string "--" (double-hyphen) must not occur within comments. For example this breaks creating snapshots: $ virsh snapshot-create-as $VM "comment--bug" $ xmllint --noout /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot/$VM/comment--bug.xml /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot/$VM/comment--bug.xml:4: parser error : Comment not terminated <!-- WARNING: THIS IS AN AUTO-GENERATED FILE. CHANGES virsh snapshot-edit $VM comment--bug $ /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart error : qemuDomainSnapshotLoad:367 : Failed to parse snapshot XML from file '/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot/$VM/comment--bug.xml' $ virsh snapshot-list ucs32-33787-performance Name Creation Time State ------------------------------------------------------------ Also applies to QEMU domains, where the name contains double-hyphens.
