An email came to libvir-list wondering why the git send-email command was missing in spite of having git installed; this is due to the send-email command being in a sub-package of the main git package. While touching the hacking file, I thought it would be useful to 1) indicate the location of the source (docs/hacking.html.in) in the message at the top of HACKING, and also to make the note about running "make check" and "make syntax-check" a bit more stern.
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.
