The UUID for the default network is not included in the example default config. So every time you restart the libvirt_qemud we get a randomly generated UUID. This isn't really in keeping with the idea of having a permanent UID :-) So I think we need to do two things:
- In the 'make install' routine - if-and-only-if the $prefix/etc/libvirt/networks/default.xml
file was newly installed, then stuff a random UUID into it, eg
UUID=`uuidgen` sed -e "s,</name>,</name>\n <uuid>$UUID</uuid>," \ $prefix/etc/libvirt/networks/default.xml
If the system doesn't have uuidgen, we can just ignore this step
- In the RPM %post section we need to stuff in a UUID at install time if-and-only-if this is a new install - ie leave it alone during upgrades
UUID=`uuidgen` sed -e "s,</name>,</name>\n <uuid>$UUID</uuid>," \ %(sysconfdir)/libvirt/networks/default.xml
I'd have no problem with something like this. A little tricky to implement, but it should be fine. Cheers, Mark.
