Quick intro since this is my first post to the list: My name is Michael Ansel, and I am third year Electrical and Computer Engineering / Computer Science double major at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. I've done a little bit of work off and on over the past several years with virtualization on Linux, and my project/self-inflicted torture for the summer is to put together a stable, object-oriented wrapper for the libvirt ruby bindings so that VM management is extremely easy from within ruby (though... I haven't quite gotten that idea off the ground).
Anyways, enough about me and onto the issue at hand: How hard would something like this (staggered boot order) be to add/integrate with an optional, external config file (or as a [true|false|1|2|3|..]. style directive in the main XML)? I'd be interested in putting something together if it is a feasible addition and someone can point me to the general area of the code that needs to be changed. Also, is there an indicator in libvirt for when a domain has finished booting, or would this boot staggering need to be time based? Thanks!
