Hello
I'm a newbie with libvirt and I would like to know if when I compile
libvirt (0.10 on amd64 debian) I have to specify an option for the
management of openvswitch or if it's integrated in the code?
(If you're compiling it yourself, why restrict it to an older version. I
would recommend instead grabbing 1.0.1, or just grabbing the head of
master from the git repo if you're adventurous).
To answer the question about compiling - the Open vSwitch support in
libvirt is completely based on calling ovs commandline utilities, so
there was no reason to supply an option to compile it out (so we didn't
:-). As long as libvirt is compiled with networking support (which is
what happens by default on any linux), you will be able to use
openvswitch functionality in libvirt.
