Create a new set of sub-packages containing the new storage driver modules so that certain heavy-weight backends (gluster, rbd) can be installed separately only if required. To keep backward compatibility the 'libvirt-driver-storage' package will be turned into a virtual package pulling in all the new storage backend sub-packages. The storage driver module will be moved into libvirt-driver-storage-core including the filesystem backend which is mandatory. This then allows to make libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu depend only on the core of the storage driver. All other meta-packages still depend on the full storage driver and thus pull in all the backends.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
