Unfortunately people on the Gentoo Dev ML have railed against having a package fail in pkg_setup() and as such this prevention code was removed by Diego.

I do know that Diego wants the defaults to work. Actually the package works just fine. You're default config attempts to connect to qemu:///system, which is a localhost connection. However at work those exact same USE flags render a perfectly working libvirt... Why? Because I don't actually host any virtual machines locally. So my default in the config file has been changed to automatically connect to the main server I use for virtualization. There's a few people in #gentoo-virtualization that actually use the ebuild like this. Please look at the -c | --connect option if you don't want to change your defaults. People actually don't want ebuilds to fail in pkg_setup. There's been a giant stink about this. For anyone that wants to implement this in a "doesn't fail in pkg_setup" case is, if libvirtd is enabled then lxc, qemu, uml, virtualbox, or xen must be enabled. |
