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:

Yes, this is a bug, due to us now including cfg.mk in the tarball. Basically, cfg.mk has rules that cause 'make' to want to rerun autogen.sh, but in a tarball, autogen.sh is unnecessary other than as a wrapper around configure (there is nothing to generate if you are using a tarball where everything is already generated). So, I either need to fix cfg.mk to not run autogen.sh from a tarball, fix autogen.sh to be a no-op when run in a tarball, or both. I'm working on it. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
