Hi,
IMHO imvirt should not depend on pciutils (I would prefer a Suggests or
Recommends) as this might be useless for some virtualization containers.
I am not sure what the goal of the project is; but if you already know
which container you are on (and therefore don't install some packages
needed for some detections), the detection is not that useful.
imvirt is to be used on (large scale) setups with (Debian) hosts running
on virtual and physical machines. With apt-dater + imvirt you are able
to filter the hosts by virtualization containers and do special actions
on them. Other software might use it to behave different depending on
the container.
Well, so i think the point of imvirt is, that it produces the expected
results ("detecting the correct container") in every container in every
valid setup - "oh sry, for xen detection you need to install 1 (or 10)
other packages" breaks this idea, and makes the package useless imho (as
i already mentioned: if i have to know the container in order to install
the correct dependencies, i don't need detection).
There are also some metaphysic aspects as in Stanislaw Lem's short story
Professor Corcorana’s Boxes, The Matrix and others - it tells you if you
should get a red pill ;-)
hehe :D
