Hi everyone,

first I thank all DEVUAN people for the pure pleasure of running my system 
(since ASCII 2018) without a bloatware.

This is my first message and I am sorry, that my search did not give me the 
answer about:

maintenance of the libvirt package without X11 and DBus

Question: is there a way to get the package for libvirt + QEMU/KVM for headless 
VMs - when no X, no DBus needed?


You can always compile it yourself. I've just checked and I'm still running a 
self-compiled v4 on my main box. Certainly in the v5.6.0 code I just looked at 
there's an option to disable dbus.

From memory I stopped upgrading when they migrated away from autoconf and make. 
The redhat-isms were just making it too hard to build on older stable 
debian-based systems, so I stuck with V4. These days it'd be easy enough to use 
the packaged versions I suppose.
