Charles Arnold 6de106691e - Update to virt-manager 3.0.0 (fate#326786)
virt-manager-3.0.0.tar.bz2
  * virt-install –cloud-init support (Athina Plaskasoviti, Cole
    Robinson)
  * The virt-convert tool has been removed. Please use virt-v2v
    instead
  * A handful of UI XML configuration options have been removed.
    The XML editor can be used instead. For a larger discussion see
    this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/
    2019-June/msg00117.html
  * The ‘New VM’ UI now has a ‘Manual Install’ option which creates
    a VM without any required install media
  * In the ‘New VM’ UI, the network/pxe install option has been
    removed. If you need network boot, choose ‘Manual Install’ and
    set the boot device after initial VM creation
  * ‘Clone VM’ UI has been reworked and simplified
  * ‘Migrate VM’ UI now has an XML editor for the destination VM
  * Global and per-vm option to disable graphical console
    autoconnect. This makes it easier to use virt-manager alongside
    another client like virt-viewer
  * virt-manager: set guest time after VM restore (Michael Weiser)
  * virt-manager: option to delete storage when removing disk
    device (Lily Nie)
  * virt-manager: show warnings if snapshot operation is unsafe
    (Michael Weiser)
  * Unattended install improvements (Fabiano Fidêncio)
  * cli: new –xml XPATH=VAL option for making direct XML changes
  * virt-install: new –reinstall=DOMAIN option
  * virt-install: new –autoconsole text|graphical|none option
  * virt-install: new –os-variant detect=on,require=on suboptions
