Over time, Fedora and RHEL RPMs have often backported upstream patches that touched configure.ac and/or Makefile.am; this necessitates rerunning the autotools for the patch to be effective. Making this a one-liner spec tweak will make it easier for future backports to pull patches without having to find all the places to touch to properly use the autotools. Meanwhile, there have been historical instances where an update in the autotools caused FTBFS situations, so this is not on by default. * libvirt.spec.in (enable_autotools): New variable, default off. (BuildRequires): Conditionally add autotools. (%build): Conditionally use them before configure. * mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Likewise.
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.
