I'm getting tired of remembering to backport RHEL-specific patches when building upstream libvirt on RHEL 6.x or CentOS. All the affected versions of RHEL qemu-kvm have backported enough patches to a) make JSON useful, and b) modify the -help text to mention libvirt as the preferred interface; which means this string in the help output is a reliable indicator that we can outsmart a strict version check, even when upstream qemu 0.12 lacked the needed features. * src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsComputeCmdFlags): Recognize particular help string present when enough features were backported to be worth using JSON. * tests/qemuhelptest.c (mymain): Update tests accordingly.
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.
