I've asked the libvirt package maintainers to add a "host only" metapackage that provides KVM virtualization without dependencies on network-attached storage that's uncommon for workstation use cases.

If it is merged, would you consider defaulting to that package for the "headed" case?

See: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libvirt/pull-request/17

This group is apparently used for server related groups in the comps so i'm not sure that the change would be valid here.

I see now what you mean, but surely those groups should be using "virtualization-headless"?

I can add that change as well...

  • Use the virtualization-headless group in server groups.
a year ago

(That change seems appropriate whether or not libvirt adds a "hostonly" meta package to slim down workstation dependencies, so I can also send it as a separate PR if you'd like.)

Whats the status here... @siosm can you look again?

This PR would depend on the libvirt maintainers accepting https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libvirt/pull-request/17 , which they haven't responded to yet.

(And I'm not really confident that PR is even slim enough. Should it remove more rarely used features? Probably.)

So, I guess that PR is still having some discussion. Shall we keep this open further?
