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. Matthias
