Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Peter Krempa 27c8e36d60 spec: Modularize the storage driver
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.
