[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#910288: libnss-libvirt: Please provide libnss_libvirt_guest

[Arnaud Patard (Rtp)]

Package: libnss-libvirt
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since libvirt 3.0.0, there's an alternative to libnss_libvirt which is
libnss_libvirt_guest. It allows to get name resolution according to the
libvirt domain names, instead of relying to dnsmasq leases when using
libnss_libvirt.

It's already built but it's not installed anywhere, so at least, the
debian/rules is missing something like:

dh_install -p libnss-libvirt usr/lib/libnss_libvirt_guest.so.2 lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/

Of course, more work is needed if one wants to put it into a different
package than libnss-libvirt.

Thanks,
