[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#574415: Ignores $VISUAL.

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.7.7-2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/virsh

>From the following transcript, you can see that virsh honours $EDITOR,
but not $VISUAL.  Convention is that the latter takes precedence over
the former (e.g. with EDITOR=ex VIRTUAL=vim, virsh should pick vim).

    $ VISUAL=false EDITOR=true virsh -c test:///default edit 1
    Domain test XML configuration not changed.

    $ VISUAL=true EDITOR=false virsh -c test:///default edit 1
    error: false /tmp/virsh6vpIIF: command exited with non-zero status
