The libvirt-daemon package still contains the following files, which likely need to move somewhere since they are needed by the modular daemons too.
%{_unitdir}/virt-guest-shutdown.target I thought of moving this to the libs package, but that would be a change for installations with only libvirt-client. AFAICT, it's used by libvirt-guests and the qemu and lxc drivers.
IIUC this basically acts as a synchronization point during shutdown: no guest will be torn down before it has been reached, and the daemon will not be shut down either. On a default install, this is where libvirt-guests.service would have a chance to perform the ON_SHUTDOWN action, but the local admin or management application can replace that with their own custom implementation.
%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/sasl2/libvirt.conf Another file related to remote access. Should it go to libvirt-libs?
This configures the remote side of the connection.
%ghost %dir %{_rundir}/libvirt/ %ghost %dir %{_rundir}/libvirt/common/ %dir %attr(0755, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/ %dir %attr(0711, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/images/ %dir %attr(0711, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/filesystems/ %dir %attr(0711, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/boot/ %dir %attr(0711, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/cache/libvirt/ %dir %attr(0755, root, root) %{_libdir}/libvirt/ %dir %attr(0755, root, root) %{_libdir}/libvirt/connection-driver/ These files and directories are needed by the modular daemons as well, right? Where should they go? libvirt-daemon-<hypervisor> or libvirt-daemon-driver-<hypervisor>?
Server-side, and not specific to any hypervisor.
%{_datadir}/polkit-1/actions/org.libvirt.unix.policy %{_datadir}/polkit-1/actions/org.libvirt.api.policy %{_datadir}/polkit-1/rules.d/50-libvirt.rules More files related to access. libvirt-libs?
These are for access to a local daemon, not remote access. And again it's the server configuring what clients should be allowed to connect to it. Assuming I've gotten all of the above right :) then it seems to me that all these files need to go in one of the server-side packages. I think we should just have a libvirt-daemon-common package that includes what you currently have put into the libvirt-daemon-client package plus these files, and have all hypervisor drivers depend on it directly. Which would basically keep things as they are: right now installing libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu results in these files begin present because they're part of the libvirt-daemon package, and after this change the same would be true except for the monolithic daemon not coming along for the ride. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
