Sure, changing the key is not actually an issue by itself; the issue comes up whether we want the "new" indexes to be usable by older virt-builders, which want os-version as unique key. OTOH, if we switch to the virt-builder.d/*.conf configuration files, those would need to be written anew, so could automatically gain new features incompatible with older virt-builders. -- Pino Toscano _______________________________________________ Libguestfs mailing list Libguestfs@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
