I create after some time ec2 and openstack compat api, but libvirt already have many guis and simple to use via virsh. Also if the proxy code autogenerated from libvirt internals i don't this that this can bring problems. For example Procedures i'm already get from protocol-remote.x, but in case of payloads as i see i need to dig into functions =( -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: [email protected] -- libvir-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
