--- Comment #1 from Roman Bogorodskiy <novel at FreeBSD.org> ---
Assign to maintainer.

Few comments on this:

 * I think an UPDATING entry should be provided for /usr/local/var -> /var
change as libvirt stored various stuff there like hypervisor pids, VM states
etc and it would be safer to copy that stuff over to the new location. 
 * I'm not sure that this path should be changeable for a port user:
+LIBVIRT_RUNDIR?=    ${VARDIR}/run/libvirt

If a user wants to chance paths, it'd would be better to change it in the
libvirt config file. Also, this way works for both ports and packages.
