The XKCD website primarily publishes comics, but many of them
are in fact design blueprints showing best practice for software
developers. A number of these designs are applicable to libvirt
and will provide valuable features to our users. This series
introduces a new framework for enabling these enhanced features
via a so called "XKCD mode". They are not enabled by default
since we want to retain backwards compatibility for existing
users. Users of libvirt though are encouraged to enable as many
of the features as possible for their deployments.

Daniel P. Berrange (4):
  xkcd: add initial framework to enabling XKCD mode
  xkcd: enable more efficient random number generator
  xkcd: enabling pre-processing of XML with perl
  xkcd: generate secure rememberable qcow2 passwords
