Thanks for the info. Are there any plans to extend the functionality of the ruby-libvirt gem beyond just the bindings? For instance, convenience functions, OVF parsing, etc? We have needed this functionality so ended up building a gem called "ovfparse" for fetching and parsing these types of files (code at https://github.com/ruby-ovf/ovfparse).

The current bindings are, indeed, just a thin wrapper on top of the libvirt API. I have had some requests (and patches) for a higher-level, more ruby-like layer on top of the standard bindings. I haven't yet had time to take a look at them, but I am not opposed to having a better library on top. -- Chris Lalancette
