Okay, we're not *that* dumb :)

The namespace is a CIM concept used to separate providers, which must
be "/root/something".  It's part of the URI used to make CIM queries.
On a Pegasus box, this actually translates to
$PEGASUS/repository/root/virt, where $PEGASUS is /var/lib/Pegasus (on
most machines).

DV>   The part below seems unrelated to the namespace change :-) but fine by me

Yes, thanks for that.  It was supposed to be part of the rpm patch,
but I leaked this hunk into the namespace patch :)

DV> Any chance to also add all the generated HTML pages ? That way we

Yep, that's fine.  I guess I just need to make sure that the web pages
get build as part of a normal build and installed appropriately.

I've been focusing on getting the schema installation to work, but I
can do this too.

DV> We also need to initialize $(XSLTPROC) with a configure check if
DV> possible

Okay, I'm not familiar with what the options for XSLTPROC are, but
I'll look at its pkg-config info for that.

DV> If we could export this from config.h as a define I guess that
DV> would be perfect.

Yes, I can do that too.  As I said in the log message, there are 62
schema files that you have to touch if you ever had to change it
again, so a couple of source files aren't a big deal.  However, I
guess it *should* be in configure, so I'll add it :)

Thanks!
