There has been a report on the list [1] that we are not installing the wireshark dissector into the correct plugin directory. And in fact we are not. The problem is, the plugin directory path is constructed at compile time. However, it's dependent on the wireshark version, e.g. /usr/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.12.6 This is rather unfortunate, because if libvirt RPMs were built with one version, but installed on a system with newer one, the plugins are not really loaded. This problem lead fedora packagers to unify plugin path to: /usr/lib/wireshark/plugins/ Cool! But this was enabled just in wireshark-1.12.6-4. Therefore, we must require at least that version. And while at it, on some distributions, the wireshark.pc file already has a variable that defines where plugin dir is. Use that if possible. 1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2015-October/msg00063.html Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.
