We want our tarballs to be complete - this means that any generated file that gets shipped as part of the tarball so that ordinary users don't have to rebuild it must be something that the maintainer can generate. There have been various reports of random build failures when using libvirt.git instead of a tarball, and often it is due to missing a maintainer-specific tool to produce one of these generated files. This patch raises the bar for what you must have installed to build libvirt.git, but does not impact what you can get away with for building tarballs. Note: It still remains possible to do a successful 'make dist' without these tools, when starting from a release tarball. * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Add tools that maintainers need for a successful 'make dist' from a fresh git checkout.
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.
