The latest versions of the libvirt C library can be downloaded from:
Once an hour, an automated snapshot is made from the git server source tree. These snapshots should be usable, but we make no guarantees about their stability:
Libvirt code source is now maintained in a git repository available on libvirt.org:
git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt.git
It can also be browsed at
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary
The master source repository used to be under CVS with anonymous access at:
# cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@libvirt.org:2401/data/cvs co libvirt
The server is maintainened temporarilly for existing uses, but all changes are only commited to git now and we expect to deprecate the CVS server during summer 2009.
The libvirt build process uses GNU autotools, so after obtaining a
checkout it is necessary to generate the configure script and Makefile.in
templates using the autogen.sh command, passing the extra
arguments as for configure. As an example, to do a complete build and
install it into your home directory run:
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
make
make install
Jim Mereying was maintaining a CVS to git mirror on git.et.redhat.com. Existing users should migrate to the new libvirt.org git server, as the old one is now deprecated. For the sake of old links including now- rewritten SHA1s, we'll leave the old repository on-line for some time. It is available as:
git clone git://git.et.redhat.com/libvirt.git
It can also be browsed at
