Hum ! :-( Currently, the version of libvirt determines its unequivocal contents. With a patched version of libvirt, it becomes impossible in an application to known the functionalities level of libvirt if the version number is identical to a non-patched libvirt.
Could you explain how it's possible from an application to distinguish between a patched libvirt and a non-patched libvirt or another patched version of libvirt by using the virGetVersion() function ?
Can explain your problem instead ? What is the feature or behaviour you need to detect ?
We have to know if the Attach/Detach devices functions will be in the libvirt library of RHEL-5 RC1
No this was done after the code freeze, and not request by a partner as a feature for RHEL-5, so this is not present.
and also if some enhancements of the XML format will be present such as currentMemory, ...
Yes currentMemory will be in. This should not be a big problem, you can generate the XML with it, and if the library don't understand it, it should just ignore it. The set of patches are the following: Patch0: create_message.patch -> bug fix Patch1: libvirt-0.1.8-shreable-disk.patch -> shareable disk Patch2: localization.patch -> localization Patch3: core_dump.patch -> support for domain core dump Patch4: current_memory.patch -> current memory amount support Patch5: bootloader.patch -> bug fix for pygrub bootloader Patch6: python-lock.patch -> release python lock when calling libvirt Patch7: ostype.patch -> os type bug fix Patch8: vcpu_info.patch -> bug fix Patch9: pvfb.patch -> Paravirt frame buffer support Patch10: pvfb2.patch Patch11: maxid_check.patch -> bug fix Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
