I'm still a bit wary of this patch. Is this something that can be done
with 'virsh -c test:///default' can do? Or can we at least copy how
test doesn't support the functionality, so no, it cannot be used like
that.
daemon-conf runs an instance of libvirtd pointing to an independent
pid
and config file, whether or not the system libvirtd is running?
yes, I am looking into this.
Or should we be trying to do this as part of libvirt-tck instead?
I know. Hurdle being Perl for me and I so far have had lots of problems
getting that test suite to run; some problems were related just to compile
the dependent libvirt perl project, others then with a perl dependency and
my FC13 installation etc.
