I'm pleased to announce the availability of Ruby bindings for libvirt.
The main site for them is http://libvirt.org/ruby API docs can be found at http://libvirt.org/ruby/api/index.html
An initial release is at http://libvirt.org/ruby/download - the bindings are mostly complete, though there are a number of less frequently used functions that are not covered yet.
Please send all your patches (and comments/questions) to this list.
Two suggestions on making the binding more ruby-ish: 1. Let opening a connection yield a conn object where possible so that we can write something like this: Libvirt::open("qemu:///system") do |conn| dom = conn.lookupDomainByName("mydomain") end At the end of the block, conn.close will be automatically called as a cleanup action. 2. Change method calls on ruby objects to use underscores instead of camelcase. For instance, conn.lookupDomainByName should be conn.lookup_domain_by_name instead. cheers, mengkuan
