libvirt-go

Go bindings for libvirt.

Make sure to have libvirt-dev package (or the development files otherwise somewhere in your include path)

Version Support

Currently, the only supported version of libvirt is 1.2.2, tagged as v2.x releases gopkg.in/alexzorin/libvirt-go.v2 (docs).

The bindings will probably work with versions of libvirt that are higher than 1.2.2, depending on what is added in those releases. However, no features are currently being added that will cause the build or tests to break against 1.2.2.

OS Compatibility Matrix

To quickly see what version of libvirt your OS can easily support (may be outdated). Obviously, nothing below 1.2.2 is usable with these bindings.

OS Release	libvirt Version
FC19	1.2.9 from libvirt.org/sources
Debian 7	1.2.4 from wheezy-backports
Debian 6	0.9.12 from squeeze-backports
Ubuntu 14.04	1.2.2 from trusty
RHEL 6	0.10.x
RHEL 5	0.8.x

0.9.x Support

Previously there was support for libvirt 0.9.8 and below, however this is no longer being updated. These releases were tagged v1.x at gopkg.in/alexzorin/libvirt-go.v1 (docs).

Please fork and write tests.

Integration tests are available where functionality isn't provided by the test driver, see integration_test.go.

A Vagrantfile is included to run the integration tests:

cd ./vagrant/{branch} (i.e ./vagrant/master, where you will find a Vagrantfile for the master branch)
vagrant up to provision the virtual machine
vagrant ssh to login to the virtual machine
