Yeah, I used to do it that way, and at some point I switched to just  making the rpm and installing it. I don't even remember now why I did  that - it could have just been because I was testing on a different  machine from where I was building, or maybe I was rebooting a lot and  wanted my new libvirtd to be the one that came up at boot time. At the  time I switched, the penalty was small enough that it just became  automatic, but over the last year or so the build time (for make -j$LOTS  rpm) has slowly crept up to the point where it's now time to retrain my  muscle memory and use the in-tree libvirtd. I suppose one downside of that is that make rpm failures won't be  noticed as quickly :-)
