Re: [libvirt] Moving Drivers to their respective directories under src/

Hi All,
Now since we have moved the repo from CVS => git can we consider moving each
driver to its respective directory under src/. The src/ directory is too
crowded with more then 150+ base files and more when you compile things.
Personally I don't think having lots of files in one directory is really
much of a problem. The compelling reason for having one directory per driver
is to make it clear where you're allowed to have compile/include dependancies
eg generic shared code isn't allowed to depend on Xen driver code.
Also is there any way to output the compiled files to a separate out
directory
instead of keeping everything under src/. That would be advantages in two ways
mainly one by reducing the entries in .gitignore (will be just out directory)
and secondly will reduce the clutter by keeping src and output separate.
You should able to do that already. eg from the top level directory
in which you have a checkout
mkdir build
cd build
srcdir=.. ../autogen.sh
make

Daniel
