Re: libvirt hook to change domain xml

Hi, I'm particularly interested in the PoC of KubeVirt to allow custom changes in libvirt domain xml in a more straightforward manner than they have Today [0]. When I was looking into the libvirt hooks, I was a bit excited when I read: > you can also place several hook scripts in the directory > /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu.d/.

But that's not the case for every situation. When the domain is being defined the scripts are run but the output is ignored [1] Is there a reason for that?
