Package: vagrant-libvirt
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

In Tails [0] we are in the process of migrating our Vagrant-based build
system from the VirtualBox provider to the Libvirt one thanks to the
newly uploaded vagrant-livirt package. Since we like Tails to remain
buildable on Jessie, the vagrant-libvirt package would have to be
backported to Jessie. In addition, due to its dependencies, the
following packages would have to be backported to Jessie as well:

* vagrant
* ruby-excon
* ruby-fog-core
* ruby-fog-libvirt
* ruby-fog-xml

Luckily I expect all of these backports to be trivial rebuilds -- at the
moment installing these packages from Stretch into Jessie works fine.

In addition to the above, bug #823395 must also be fixed since
ruby-fog-libvirt requires a ruby-libvirt *with* rubygems integration. An
alternative would be to also backport ruby-libvirt, since Stretch's
version already is fixed (it is not installable in Jessie, though, so
the backporting could be more complicated, YMMV).

Cheers!
