[pve-devel] [RFC PATCH qemu-server 0/4] Initial support for creating VMs from OVF manifests

[Emmanuel Kasper]

This patch series add initial support for creating VMs from OVF·
manifests, adding a new command with the following create:

qm ovfcreate path_to_manifest.xml {vmid}

The command is quite for the momment as it only parses VM name, cores count and memory,
but more is on the way (os types and then finally the disk images)

For testing I used the with the Windows IE Edge test VMWare machine from
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

Emmanuel Kasper (4):
  Force overwriting existing compressed man pages and symbolic links
  Add depency to libxml-simple-perl
  Initial parsing of OVF files
  Add a new command line option 'ovfcreate', to create VMs from an OVF
    manifest
