Re: [Libvir] How to stop 'make install' clobbering /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf

Does anyone know how to persuade automake to stop it from doing this?
As far as I can see the only way would be to write a custom install
rule.
IMHO, the default "make install" behavior (clobber any target)
is the right approach. Doing anything else starts to implement policy.
Policy belongs more in the domain of the distribution, packaging, and
higher-level tools like yum, etc.
