The rst2html tool is provided by python docutils, and as the name
suggests, it converts RST documents into HTML.
Basic rules are added for integrating RST docs into the website

GEN html/index-admin.html

The log filters have supported the use of a "+" before the source match

Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
Date: Wed May 9 15:18:56 2012 +0100
Allow stack traces to be included with log messages
Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.
With the huge & ever increasing number of logging statements per file,
this will be incredibly verbose and have a major performance penalty.
This makes the feature impractical to use widely and as such it is not
worth the code maint cost.
Removing this seldom used feature allows us to drop the 'execinfo'
module in gnulib which provides the backtrace() function which doesn't
exist on non-Linux.
Users who want to get stack traces of parts of libvirt can use GDB,
or systemtap for live tracing with minimal perf impact.

gmem: clarify that g_malloc always uses the system allocator
Applications can still use custom allocators in general, but they must
do this by linking to a library that replaces the core malloc/free
implemenentation entirely, instead of via a glib specific call.
This means that libvirt does not need to be concerned about use of
g_malloc/g_free causing an ABI change in the public libary, and can
avoid memory copying when talking to external libraries.
This patch probes for glib, which provides the foundation layer with
a collection of data structures, helper APIs, and platform portability
logic.
Later patches will introduce linkage to gobject which provides the
object type system, built on glib, and gio which providing objects
for various interesting tasks, most notably including DBus client

Python3 versions less than 3.7 have very unhelpful handling
of the C locale where they assume data is 7-bit only. This
violates POSIX which requires the C locale to be 8-bit clean.
Python3 >= 3.7 now assumes that the C locale is always UTF-8.
Set env variables to force LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8 so that
we get UTF-8 handling on all python versions. Note we do
not use C.UTF-8 since not all C libraries support that.

The OOM handling requires special build time options which we never
enable in our CI. Even once enabled the tests are incredibly slow and
typically require manual inspection of the results to weed out false
positives.
Since there was previous agreement to switch to abort on OOM in libvirt
code, there's no point continuing to keep the unused OOM testing code.
