[libvirt] sVirt support for LXC?

Hello, We are at the later stage of a project. We are very much interested in sVirt support for LXC. Is there any branch that we can try? We are willing to test one. As I wrote below, we tried Daniel's branch https://gitorious.org/~berrange/libvirt/staging/commits/lxc-svirt. But we didn't have much luck. Any help? Do you have any schedule of adding sVirt support for LXC to upstream libvirt?

Hello,
Replying to a random previous message, even if you change the subject line, doesn't create a new thread. Your message got buried in an existing thread, making it harder to find; in the future, it is better to start a new thread via a fresh email rather than replying to an existing mail.
Is it planned to support sVirt for LXC?
Eventually. It's a work in progress, and tracking this mailing list you will see as it improves.
I know the current libvirt does not support sVirt for LXC. I found that a branch at https://gitorious.org/~berrange/libvirt/staging/commits/lxc-svirt seems to support sVirt for LXC.
Yes, that's Daniel's staging area as he works on improving the situation.
I downloaded the tar file and overwrite libvirt-0.9.6 with the branch.
Not recommended. Running a staging area patch is rather risky, and it's better to wait for it to hit upstream libvirt.git first, especially if you want support from this list. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list ---------------------- Dr. Dong-In "David" Kang Computer Scientist USC/ISI

That branch is just my development snapshot and its not really in a state for people to use, unless you have a very good understanding of libvirt and SELinux and are prepared to debug it yourself.

Almost certainly before the end of this year, hopefully for the end of November release of libvirt.

Thanks a lot. It would be wonderful if it can be done by the end of November.
