receives only libvirt-ci related commits. The code compiles with
net-snmp-5.9.3 but the freshly released net-snmp-5.9.4 [1] breaks
compilation [2]. Now, libvirt-snmp has this crazy architecture, where
some sources are manually generated from src/LIBVIRT-MIB.txt, then
edited (added code to talk to libvirt) and then added to git.
I'm also strongly inclined to archive the following:
* libvirt-cim
Similar situation to SNMP binding, CIM is an outdated way
to interact with libvirt that hasn't been developed in
years and I doubt anyone uses it.
* libvirt-appdev-guide-python
* libvirt-publican
The publican toolchain was removed from Fedora, and the
build in Debian is broken. While I can probably fixe the
Debian build, I'm not especially inclined to invest in
this since we're not actively adding content to this
doc. If we ever did take it forward again I'd probably
suggest it be ported to Sphinx / RST instead of Docbook.
* libvirt-sandbox
* libvirt-sandbox-image
The Kata and libkrun projects both conceptually overlap with
what this tried to do and are actually actively used and
developed unlike this.
* libvirt-designer
This project is dormant as we never put all that much investment
into it, and I don't see it being useful to apps in future either
With regards,
Daniel
