Along with this, I maintain some other ports that depend on libvirt that are of a graphical nature. As it stands now, this port is incomplete in that the network layer of it is disabled. Having the network piece missing is a major deficiency of the port. Libvirt is under very active development cycle, and there is at least one very active developer that uses FreeBSD. I had written this up sometime ago, now, and was hoping that someone here would have the ability to update the code: http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2011-04-2011-06.html#libvirt-networking-port The advantages of getting a fully working libvirt port in FreeBSD would be very helpful insofar as monitoring and utilities for the virtualization community. If I had the coding experience, I would most definitely step up. I am also going to be reaching out to the development community for libvirt and virt-manager, to inquire if there are any plans on supporting BHyVe. Many thanks, and hope someone out there can help! :) - -jgh - -- Jason Helfman | FreeBSD Committer jgh@FreeBSD.org | http://people.freebsd.org/~jgh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPDgaHAAoJECBZmmNBUNPcBD4H/i7Sa0+PiTCMDyk7Hr2gtQme 6imk2DZFnnxZFVvlOZ4rkLPjMaPqdVSmMHmRglG+Lj024x2NyTNqIQEok2L6ntWU r4Wqx16ZRXCh1gPcp6vqHRIF95+0HOxQRW6duDmwGBTvT2agvGAqYMOZr/4PLlnF zwmtidVu6Wxh8HXS/mYPGplF+h0rE8t3UrwkUXExfQW1ugT9/x5LcYWUcSI4PZ/r TpNtq6EY6RfLffVuAjn3V2ttKl3Xn+Kv4iQhJa5fcpFnr/ZQhNYPny9VKlGvtqVn YvxY6p+Q8aSCSJio822VtSriWSYxhezlDEKo0vMqeCJP2+cHtjDlgZjE6Ne0FGc= =M/N/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
