Comment 3 for bug 723235

We have been testing special images running in xen in use with nova. Several changes to the xml template have been neccessary to use with our images. It took some time to me, to find out why the changes won't be applied.

Maybe we can add another flag e.g. "--debug_libvirt_template=[true/false]" ? When true, compute should read the libvirt template each time an instance is created. When false (default) it should be read only once.

If this is interesting to you, I would spend time to learn some python and create the neccessary changes. But this does only make sense if I am not the only person with this use case.
