libvirtd initscript doesnt need firewalld

Hi everyone!

I've been working with libvirtd and minikube and for some weird reason (I dont know why) firewalld doesnt provide an IP to the VM. So i stopped firewalld, I edited the file /etc/init.d/libvirtd and removed "need firewalld" option then I started libvirtd services and works fine finally the VM gets IP without problem.
Speaking in IRC channel @Dudemanguy  commented that the runit version of libvirtd doesnt have firewalld as a dependency.

So with this: It is possible to remove it?

Thanks for advanced.

Please try 'want firewalld' instead of 'need firewalld', i.e. make it an optional soft dependency. If it works, well change it to that otherwise we'll remove it.

LIBVIRTD_OPTS=${LIBVIRTD_OPTS:-"${LIBVIRTD_OPTS}"}
LIBVIRTD_TIMEOUT=${LIBVIRTD_TERMTIMEOUT:-"TERM/25/KILL/5"}

command_args="-d ${LIBVIRTD_OPTS}"

use avahi-daemon

checkpath --directory /etc/libvirt/lxc || return 1
checkpath --directory /etc/libvirt/nwfilter || return 1
checkpath --directory /etc/libvirt/qemu || return 1
checkpath --directory /etc/libvirt/storage || return 1
}

$ sudo rc-service libvirtd start
libvirtd          | * Caching service dependencies ...    [ ok ]
virtlogd         | * Starting virtlogd ...
firewalld       | * Starting firewalld ...                            [ ok ]
libvirtd          | * Starting libvirtd ...                               [ ok ]

But my VM doesnt provied IP. I reverted the changes and works fine. So i believe we can remove it

Did you write this as a package?
