We're entering the week freeze for 0.8.8, so let's delay new
feature
until the end of next week and let's focuse on bug fixes. I have put an
initial release candidate at:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.8.8-rc1.tar.gz
it seems to compile and work fine for me. there is however a small
problem at configure time:
-------------------------------------
thinkpad:~/tmp/libvirt-0.8.8 -> ./autogen.sh --system ; make
Running ./configure with --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--libdir=/usr/lib
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
fatal: Cannot open 'bootstrap.conf': No such file or directory
usage: git diff [--no-index] <path> <path>
/home/veillard/tmp/libvirt-0.8.8/tmpwrk2661/archive
/home/veillard/tmp/libvirt-0.8.8/tmpwrk2661/archive
/home/veillard/tmp/libvirt-0.8.8/tmpwrk2661/archive
Copying file m4/codeset.m4
-------------------------------------
Seems some git command is launched but errors out, that's normal
but it should not pollute the output (there is also the extra paths
output but that's due to the fact that I use CDPATH env variable
and as a result "cd dir" is not silent when successful but output
the target dir).

Why does the build from a tarball try to use git anyway? I can
reproduce the failing git call.
And syntax-check fails like this, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to
work from a tarball at all:
$ make -s syntax-check
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
fatal: Cannot open 'bootstrap.conf': No such file or directory
usage: git diff [--no-index] <path> <path>
make: *** No rule to make target `docs/hacking1.xsl', needed by
`HACKING'. Stop.
Another Win32 problem was pthread_sigmask usage in virsh. Dan pushed a
fix for that a moment ago. I still have another Win32 problem related
to %lld in format strings.
