We are so close to a release that we don't want to pull in a gnulib submodule update and risk regressions, since there has been a lot of other gnulib churn upstream. However, there are a couple of gnulib issues that are worth fixing in isolation, by applying local patches to gnulib. There was an upstream gnulib bug in maint.mk that rendered most of our syntax checks ineffective (and fixing it flushed out a minor bug in our code): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-03/msg00194.html There is still an upstream bug where gnulib uses the wrong type for ssize_t on mingw; we need the fix now even though it has not yet been accepted into gnulib: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-03/msg00188.html * gnulib/local/top/maint.mk.diff: Pick up upstream gnulib maint.mk. * gnulib/local/m4/ssize_t.m4.diff: Work around gnulib bug. * src/libvirt.c: Remove unused header. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): Exempt gnulib local files.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
