A recent build failure made me realize that we could usefully add a bit more information to configure output, for aid in analysis of failed builds. Pulling in the autobuild module merely adds these four lines to configure output: configure: autobuild project... libvirt configure: autobuild revision... v1.0.1-113-g7a74eea configure: autobuild hostname... myhost configure: autobuild timestamp... 20130102T233543Z which can be useful even if not using the Autobuild project to parse build logs. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add autobuild. * configure.ac: Favor git version over release version, when available.
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.
