Update on the goal page Some things to note in this patch: - we do extend libvirt scope beyond purely managing domains, there is already a number of blocks which are here as helpr functions to manage the resources on the host. - we are expanding in the direction of libvirt being sufficient to do most of the management on the Host (but within the limits of the need for virtualization, e.g. managing users on the host is out of scope) - we don't require anymore APIs to be supported by multiple hypervisors to get in, it's already the case in practice, but we should still make sure the semantic of those APIs are clear. We added quite a bit for QEmu, but for example I saw on IRC that VBox could emulate a network unplug/replug on a domain interface, and that would be a good addition even if a priori no other hypervisor supports it. - Make clear that all libvirt APIs are available remotely, which is key to use libvirt for building management tools. - link the goal page from the project main page As for libvirt project directions, I think it just reflects the natural evolution in the last couple of years. We are less hypervisor agnostic and extending in the Host management. Clearly there is interest in making sure libvirt is complete in term of features for the hypervisors supported, especially the ones like KVM or LXC which don't really have integrated management library. * docs/goals.html.in: update the goals page * docs/index.html.in: link it from the top page 2011-03-28 02:40:24 +00:00			`of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes), see our`
