Commit ddd6bef4 switched to the ustar format to fix an issue where 'make dist' fails to create a tarball because we have files with relative names longer than 100 bytes by the time you include a 'libvirt-0.9.13' prefix. Unfortunately, even with ustar format, the use of 'tar -ch' tries to convert symlinks to hard links, also with a name too long (omitting the -h works, but automake automatically passes -h); such symlinks were added in commit 6dcf98c, which resulted in 'make dist' breaking again. The solution is to rename the offending symlinks to something shorter, by shortening the entire nodeinfodata naming scheme. * tests/nodeinfotest.c (mymain): Shorten test names. (linuxTestNodeInfo): Accommodate new names. * tests/nodeinfodata/*: Rename files accordingly.
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.

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
