Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). The library aims at providing a long term stable C API for different virtualization mechanisms. It currently supports QEMU, KVM, XEN, OpenVZ, LXC, and VirtualBox.
This package contains the libvirt shell virsh and other client binaries.

Guido Günther
- [33890b9] New upstream version 6.0.0
(Closes: #939552) - [c9f82be] gitlab-ci: Run autopkgtests
Christian Ehrhardt
- [fa167bc] d/libnss-libvirt.lintian-overrides: accept having two nss so files
- [bf48357] d/libvirt-daemon-system-sysv.lintian-overrides: not shipping systemd files. Packages are split intentionally, ignore this lintian warning.
- [2278598] d/rules: also check build time self test results on all architectures
- [c1be36a] d/rules: drop doc binary cleanup.
- [6d60c3c] d/rules: don't ship split daemons just yet
- [33f8dc4] d/p/skip-qemuhotplugtest.patch: fix qemuhotplugtest. Skip some elements of qemuhotplugtest that for now break in Debian/Ubuntu build environments.
- [a1734f7] d/rules: add libvirt-guests.default to libvirt-daemon-system instead of libvirt-daemon-system-sysv
- [69f6cfe] d/rules: install /etc/default/* files that are shared between sysv and systemd packages
- [31be682] d/rules: install virtlockd for sysv
(Closes: #880970)
Andrea Bolognani
- [070d158] Install virt-login-shell-helper.
This new binary was introduced in libvirt 5.7.0 and is necessary for virt-login-shell to work. - [143dafb] Install augeas lenses for all drivers.
These slipped through the cracks when we moved from picking up the corresponding directories as a whole to listing the specific files we're interested in. - [efa4cfe] Remove all mentions of Devhelp.
As of libvirt 5.8.0, the corresponding files are no longer generated. - [8ebd427] not-installed: Remove obsolete entries.
Now that upstream's build system has been fixed and we're picking up the documentation from the install location rather than the source directory, the corresponding files will no longer be flagged by dh_missing. - [ce54aef] not-installed: List all split daemons files. Since we're not shipping split daemons yet, the corresponding binaries as well as systemd units and augeas lenses will be flagged by dh_missing if we don't list them here.
- [391e39d] symbols: Drop LIBVIRT_5.9.0
libvirt 5.9.0 didn't introduce any new public symbols.
Debian 10.0 buster-proposed-updates/main: Version 5.0.0-4+deb10u1 removed

Tobias Wolter
- [711f612] apparmor: Allow one to run pygrub
Guido Günther
- [3bcbf56] Don't render osxsave, ospke into QEMU comman line. This helps newer QEMU with some configs generated by virt-install. Thanks to Michal Arbet for digging out the patches (Closes: #944248)
