This base connection object will be used to simplify the API in various places, reduce libvirt API calls, and better share code between virtinst and virt-manager. For now it just centralizes connection opening. This also exposed various places where our handling for older libvirt was busted, so raise our minimum host version to 0.6.0, the first version that supports threaded client requests.
Virtual Machine Manager ======================= This application provides a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via the libvirt library. The front end of the application uses the GTK / Glade libraries for all user interaction components. The back end uses libvirt for managing Qemu/KVM and Xen virtual machines, as well as LXC containers. The UI is primarily tested with KVM, but is intended to be reasonably portable to any virtualization backend libvirt supports. Pre-requisite software ====================== virt-manager was ported to GTK3 at the beginning of 2013. Older GTK3 or pygobject3 versions likely will not work for running virt-manager. Earliest tested versions of major components: python >= 2.6 gtk3 >= 3.6 libvirt-python >= 0.4.0 pygobject3 >= 3.4 A more detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in.
