Sorry this seems to be a request for a libvirt change upstream, and the best way to handle this is to communicate about the issue and send the patch to the mailing-list, see https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list There are non Red Hat people who are checking patches on the list but are unlikely to check bugs here, so the best way to get upstream patches discussed and applied is really to go on the list, thanks ! Daniel http://www.libvirt.org states that any bug reports should be filed here exactly as I did. Seeing as you also are upstream for libvirt, can you please update the website to state the correct place to file bugs then. (In reply to comment #2) > http://www.libvirt.org states that any bug reports should be filed here exactly > as I did. You're absolutely correct, but I think DV is just saying that if you actually have a patch it's better to (also?) post it to libvir-list. Yes, plus it's more than merely a bug fix, it's a behaviour change, and really best discussed on-list (I'm not against it, just want things to be discussed in the proper location) Daniel Merged upstream

Created attachment 345686 [details] libvirt-0.6.3-kvm-img.patch Description of problem: This bug is a clone of #502896 but for libvirt. I've refactored the entire section to become run-time dependant instead of build-time. The logic is that on certain distros, you can add and remove support for QEMU, KVM, and Xen at any point. If the patch needs to be tweaked in anyway, let me know.
