When those are done (target of 2.9), then x-blockdev-del will be renamed to drop the x- prefix, and blockdev-add will be considered stable. Meanwhile, we are also working on adding a -blockdev command line option that maps to the QMP command, again targetted for 2.9. >=20 > I see a lot of work on blockdev-add in the list, but x-blockdev-del > seems untouched about 8 moths.. Right now, x-blockdev-del is unlikely to change much, if at all; rather, it keeps the name to remind us that blockdev-add is still changing, so that we'll have a nice witness during introspection that both interfaces are stable based on the loss of the x- prefix. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --BxlVvKU4tTFSj3wVRWxEltOksNsP9Vpf1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJYpHWjAAoJEKeha0olJ0Nq/OUH/jvuUcZzEFKcpbJygeNNJCFq et/gHVFhDgll3o2Gxr/4O95EYsao16tGLbp6M+Mbj+LXU9ALvBPb2u1ezvG11IT0 5FoRQ6Bkw/N/rHlyK352u2Ru1F7KeZVxxuGE6RTVy1WmUOCP93DLB4v+NyVG6MsZ D4xnA+q4Aab5IWNzC0JrzbdrfhAB4jYbSXJUl3fPyXi4bp+qc9O433KuekFcKLUv htWJPZV5aAb8jbE4bXjjqorZpbZXq07N13IoRvPF/tXd+IvJLNfFA/r5cwG/yCRI n1kx4RozeIt9z/PHZTCH6CdSH9kzTefL0mQBiQX4RlgmUoBECmSuiUKagAkEpmk= =NNhF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --BxlVvKU4tTFSj3wVRWxEltOksNsP9Vpf1--
