By the way, should mingw-libvirt.spec.in updated to ship the virsh and virt-admin binaries in separate -client and -admin packages? Does shipping a mingw version virt-admin even make sense, given that AFAIK it doesn't (yet) work on remote daemons? Well, I didn't add it to the mingw spec file for that^ specific reason, but according to https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-July/msg00022.html it broke the the build on mingw apparently.
I assume any breakage would have been caused by the fact that the libvirt-admin DLL and header files were missing; those should definitely be included in the package. What I'm wondering is whether the virt-admin executable should be shipped at all.
However, I wouldn't bother splitting the packages to -client and -admin on mingw at the moment, it's just not worth it IMHO.
I don't have a strong opinion either way, I just though I would bring it up for discussion :) -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
