homebrew-virt-manager

Updated/new formulae to build virt-manager and virt-viewer on Mac OSX.

Usage

brew tap jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager
brew install virt-manager virt-viewer

Notes

• For remote URIs, the libvirt socket location may need to be overridden to prevent socket hangups, see www.jedi.be.

    virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://user@libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
    virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh://user@libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
  

• SSH passwords for connecting to remote URIs are not prompted unless --debug or --no-fork is used to start virt-manager.
