Hi everyone,
first I thank all DEVUAN people for the pure pleasure of running my
system (since ASCII 2018) without a bloatware.
This is my first message and I am sorry, that my search did not give me
the answer about:
maintenance of the libvirt package without X11 and DBus
Question: is there a way to get the package for libvirt + QEMU/KVM for
headless VMs - when no X, no DBus needed?
Currently I am solving it like this:
I am using QEMU/KVM/libvirt in Beowulf SMP Debian x86_64
My guests are LAMP headless VMs, with no X11 (all DEVUAN Beowulf x86_64).
On a supervisor I am using no DBus, so I purged it from the packages
installed by default, and put on hold along with elogin and libpam module:
~$sudo apt-mark showhold
dbus
elogind
libpam-elogind
System runs stable, for development, production and backup environments.
When I simulate an update to the recent libvirt on a supervisor, it
starts to pull in all the X11 + DBus dependencies libraries, which were
not installed before, smth. around +300MB of archives, like fonts TTF,
and others.
Using DBus would put my system in the uncontrolled and unmaintained
state, since I do not have any experience to manage it, and also no
requirements to use it.
Do you have any experience about maintaining libvirt without DBus in
Devuan/Debian, and can you share what is helpfull/meaningfull strategy here?
Is there a chance to install/upgrade libvirt package with no X11 / DBus
dependencies, and can I contribute to such package?
Thank you!
Cheers,
Andrzej
