This is the update of libvirt to the latest version 2.1.
The most important change from a packager view is the new virtlogd
daemon.
This daemon handles the qemu output and wrote it to log files.
The require some changes:
- A new init script to start, stop restart the daemon called virtlogd.
The daemon is restart with SIGUSR1 (this is important because the daemon
keeps all pipelines etc. open).
This introduces a problem with the uninstall.sh install.sh script.
It is not possible to stop the daemon while virtual machines are
running, so the script update.sh execute from now not uninstall.sh and
install.sh instead it contains all steps from uninstall.sh install.sh
expect the start / stop routine for virtlogd. The daemon is just
restarted after the update, which makes sure that all changes take
effect.
- new symlinks in the uninstall.sh and install.sh script and some root
file changes because of the new virtlogd init script.
- the archive format changes from tar.gz to tar.xz

Portmap is not maintained anymore that's why it is replaced by rpcbind.
Rpcbind provides also rpcinfo which is quite useful for debugging.

Ramdisks are very limited in space and as new graphs
are generated for OpenVPN N2N connections, etc. more
space is necessary.
This patch will enable ramdisks for all systems with more
than 490M of memory and allows the user to force using
a ramdisk on systems with less memory.

Instead of creating a copy of the configuration values and
for better extensibility, we will have udev execute a script
that parses /var/ipfire/ethernet/settings and will return the
correct name of the corresponding device (green0, blue0, ...).
The rng daemon will be installed by default and will
also be installed when a hardware random number generator
is found. It will then read random data from the hardware
random number generator and will feed it into the kernel's
entropy pool.
If no HW RNG is available, a warning will be printed
at boot time.
