Hmm, I wonder if I should add cppi and pdwtags to my list of required maintainer tools in this unreviewed patch: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-November/msg01052.html
They would still be optional for tarball builds, of course, but having them required when doing autogen.sh on libvirt.git may help more developers catch problems up front.
Wasn't the problem that cppi isn't universaly available ? If that's the case the status quo while a bit more painful for those whove have it, avoid a dependance needed to build and submit patches.
Good point - while things like xmllint are available pre-built for RHEL 5, cppi and pdwtags are not, not even through EPEL. You've convinced me - keep cppi and pdwtags optional for now, until they are available as pre-built packages on all the major all Linux development platforms supported at the time. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
