drags in wireshark as a dependency. There wouldn't be anything bad about it, except the wireshark plugin is expected to be used by developers, not an ordinary users. If I were an ordinary user I'd be very curious why I need to install wireshark to run libvirt.
I agree, we should *not* have 'libvirt' depend on the wireshark plugin. We should treat 'libvirt' as pulling in everything that it would have done in the past before we split the RPMs. So by that rationale new functionality is out of scope.
Then I'll revert the patch that I already pushed (sorry for not waiting for this conversation to come to a conclusion). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
