Libvirt native C API and daemons
9eabf14afb
Currently when we build with nbdkit support, libvirt will always try to use nbdkit to access remote disk sources when it is available. But without an up-to-date selinux policy allowing this, it will fail. because the required selinux policies are not yet widely available, we have disabled nbdkit support on rpm builds for all distributions before Fedora 40. Unfortunately, this makes it more difficult to test nbdkit support. After someone updates to the necessary selinux policies, they would also need to rebuild libvirt to enable nbdkit support. By introducing a configure option (nbdkit_config_default), we can build packages with nbdkit support but have it disabled by default.

It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor. For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users. Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Installation ============ Instructions on building and installing libvirt can be found on the website: https://libvirt.org/compiling.html Contributing ============ The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website: https://libvirt.org/contribute.html Contact ======= The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists: * users@lists.libvirt.org (**for user discussions**) * devel@lists.libvirt.org (**for development only**) Further details on contacting the project are available on the website: https://libvirt.org/contact.html
