$domain is not available in libvirtxml.tmpl

Tentatively assigning to Serge Hallyn for comment if this is a regression, or a feature change. Are you aware of the cause of this?

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this bug. Could you attach the template you are using, and the command which you use in karmic to make use of it?

Command line looks like this:

sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --config .../vm.cfg ...

vm.cfg looks like this:

[kvm]
<...>
domain = example.com

[kvm/ubuntu]

suite = karmic
flavour = virtual
components = main,restricted,universe,multiverse
templates = .../vmbuilder
<...>

Thanks for the info, but please attach the complete files (replacing any passwords with XXX) and give the full command line. Your vm.cfg has 'templates = ../vmbuilder' - what is in that directory?

I don't believe this bug is valid. I tested it by exploiting the fact that '$domain' is used in /etc/vmbuilder/ubuntu/etc_hosts.tmpl. So, I ran:

vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=lucid --mirror=http://localhost:3142/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ --config=my.cfg

where my.cfg contained:

============================
[ubuntu]

domain = fakehallyn.com
hostname = myvm
=============================

The /etc/hosts on the resulting machine contained my entries.

In your example .cfg file, you have 'domain' under

[kvm/ubuntu]. Since you didn't show me your templates I can't be sure, but I suspect you needed to use [kvm] or [ubuntu].

I'm marking this Invalid. If you feel I'm wrong about that, please re-mark it 'New' and upload all your templates in a tarfile (so that I can also see their hierarchy).

Indeed, $domain works in /etc/vmbuilder/ubuntu/etc_hosts.tmpl, but it still doesn't in libvirt/libvirtxml.tmpl
