[libvirt] [PATCHv2] build: use autobuild module to make build logs nicer

A recent build failure made me realize that we could usefully add a bit more information to configure output, for aid in analysis of failed builds. Pulling in the autobuild module merely adds these four lines to configure output: configure: autobuild project... libvirt configure: autobuild revision... v1.0.1-113-g7a74eea configure: autobuild hostname... myhost configure: autobuild timestamp... 20130102T233543Z which can be useful even if not using the Autobuild project to parse build logs. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add autobuild. * configure.ac: Favor git version over release version, when available. --- The diff to v1 is the configure.ac changes to make the revision more useful; it seems harmless enough that I've gone ahead and pushed this based on Dan's ACK of v1. bootstrap.conf | 3 ++- configure.ac | 8 +++++++- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/bootstrap.conf b/bootstrap.conf index 37a0ae1..4b45a4f 100644 --- a/bootstrap.conf +++ b/bootstrap.conf @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # Bootstrap configuration. -# Copyright (C) 2010-2012 Red Hat, Inc. +# Copyright (C) 2010-2013 Red Hat, Inc. # This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or # modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public @@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ gnulib_modules=' accept areadlink +autobuild base64 bind bitrotate diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 3c97e4f..d80cf8b 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script. -dnl Copyright (C) 2005-2012 Red Hat, Inc. +dnl Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Red Hat, Inc. dnl See COPYING.LIB for the License of this software AC_INIT([libvirt], [1.0.1], [libvir-list(a)redhat.com], [], [http://libvirt.org]) @@ -122,6 +122,12 @@ AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_INSTALL AC_PROG_CPP +dnl Setting AB_VERSION makes the 'autobuild' lines of configure output +dnl slightly more useful +if test -d $srcdir/.git && git --version >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then + AB_VERSION=`cd $srcdir && git describe --match 'v[[0-9]]*' 2>/dev/null` +fi + gl_EARLY gl_INIT -- 1.8.0.2
