Cole Robinson 3e794d2d96 virt-install: Turn --os-type into a no op and warning
I'm still seeing blog posts that recommend using

  --os-type linux --os-variant XXX

Which has been a no op for a long time but is mostly harmless.
Current git would make this an error condition, but that's too
disruptive IMO. Just print a warning

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
