I'd be happy with that. Presumably downstream can then patch things so qemu-kvm-compat defaults in the way they want (if we don't like the configure option). However, that's not compatible with using PC_COMPAT as far as I know (unless there is some cunning way you can make a machine parameter change compat_props things). -- Alex Bligh -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
