[libvirt] libvirt with libssh2?

[Emre Erenoglu]

Hi,
I'm the package maintainer of libvirt for the Pardus distribution. While
trying to update the package to the latest 0.7.0, I recognized that
configure script does not find libssh.

I checked our system and found out that we are using libssh2 instead of
libssh.

>From this website (http://www.libssh2.org/libssh2-vs-libssh.html), libssh2
developers summarize their differences.

My questions:
1) Is there a specific reason why we are using libssh? Is there a patch to
make libvirt use libssh2 instead?
2) What functionality do we loose if we don't have libssh in the system?
(depending on this, I'll also package libssh or not)

Thanks a lot for any comments,

Best regards,
Emre Erenoglu
