Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv2] build: don't require avahi during install

See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785269 The specfile requires avahi during install if libvirt was built with avahi support, but there are many situations where it is undesirable to install avahi due to security concerns. This patch requires only the avahi-libs package, which is needed by libvirt to call the function that tries to attach to the avahi daemon, but will instead silently fail because the avahi-daemon is in the main avahi package, and that package isn't installed. --- v1 removed the requires completely, but that caused libvirtd to fail to load due to missing libraries. libvirt.spec.in | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/libvirt.spec.in b/libvirt.spec.in index f279d6d..62b0ed4 100644 --- a/libvirt.spec.in +++ b/libvirt.spec.in @@ -273,7 +273,7 @@ Requires: module-init-tools # for /sbin/ip & /sbin/tc Requires: iproute %if %{with_avahi} -Requires: avahi +Requires: avahi-libs
