Libvirt really needs a mode to just auto-allocate a host socket path, otherwise apps would have to hardcode /var/lib/libvirt, which can be different depending on how ./configure was run.

And add some UI niceness for adding known channels like qemu agent. - Cole _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
