"make rpm" or "rpmbuild --rebuild libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.src.rpm" is
broken.
With good reason he (rpmbuild) complains about not finding libvirt_proxy.
In proxy/Makefile a lot of is commented out - is this due to the
libvirt_proxy buffer overflow?
There is no libvirt_proxy in the libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm package:
rr016# rpm -pq --list
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm|grep proxy
Warnung: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm:
Header V3 DSA-Signatur: NOKEY, key ID de95bc1f
Therefore i think the libvirt.spec must be patched to not include
libvirt_proxy by default as follows:
--- /tmp/libvirt.spec.old 2009-04-03 22:12:26.000000000 +0200

Then the "make rpm" builds as the libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm.

Oops I notice I didn't replied to this.

Strange I actually use "make rpm" to make the releases.

Right it should be desactivated for fedora >= 8 as we use remote
access controlled by policykit there:
%if 0%{?fedora} >= 8
%define with_polkit 0%{!?_without_polkit:1}
%define with_xen_proxy 0
%endif
Therefore i think the libvirt.spec must be patched to not include
libvirt_proxy by default as follows:
I would rather try to understand why you have the problem, it does
rebuild here as far as I can tell. I have a xen package installed but
the above rule should prevent the proxy from building.
I guess there is a different problem, I wonder why on Fedora9 you
would have the above ignored.

I should have been more specific: I use RHEL5.
My workaround was to disable the libvirt_proxy-stuff and rebuilt the
PolicyKit/ConsoleKit for RHEL5.
With the patch issued by you here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-April/msg00269.html
"make rpm" works flawless and no need anymore for the PolicyKit or
ConsoleKit anymore.
I must have missed to answer to that other post with the RHEL5-patch.

Ah, okay, I rebuild regulary on RHEL5 so yeah that got fixed :-)
