FYI in order to test this from a compilation pov I wrote a script which downloaded every older libvirt release and did a client only build and then built the python module against it. I'm attaching the script I used for this I built on Fedora 19 successfully back to 0.9.11 with this, though I had to patch libvirt itself in many cases to even build. Would appreciate someone testing this build on other platforms too. eg RHEL and/or Ubuntu in particular. You might have to tweak/skip some of the patches on other platforms, depending on glibc/kernel versions To run this, save all 4 attached files to a temporary directory. Run the python build and copy the resulting dist/libvirt-python-1.2.0.tar.gz file into the same temporary directory. Then just run build-many.sh When its done check the build/*libvirt-python*.log files to see if any compile warnings/failures occurred.
