I'm well aware it may end up rejected :) And I won't be offended if it is. I'll quite understand. From their point of view it's duplicate functionality. Really the only way I see it being accepted is if we could provide a full xml compatibility layer and lose zero features. Losing zero features should be no problem, but getting someone to want to do the work with xml configuration files may be diffficult.
It may end up being rejected upstream, but we may still keep it in our package, both so libvirt can benefit from increased feature set in liblxc, and because if we could get all libvirt-lxc users switched over (i.e. default openstack) it would drastically reduce the amount of testing and disparate bug wrangling. It's not decided, just a seductive idea. -serge Quoting Dan Kegel (d...@kegel.com): > FYI.
