As far as I remember - no >> dnsmasq present during compilation, no usage of it later. However >> I might have missed something - change in behavior, requirements >> etc. This is possible. Still, if required "component" is missing, >> I say compilation resp. configure should fail. Well, libvirt.spec has had Require: dnsmasq for at least a couple years, so any install of a libvirt rpm should fail when dnsmasq isn't present. I don't know for certain how long the BuildRequires: dnsmasq has been there, but certainly for at least a year (the last time the line was modified), so any rpm builds should also fail. But of course if you're running ./autogen.sh and then make, that doesn't involve the specfile. dnsmasq really is an integral part of the network driver; I don't know that it makes any sense to "fix" things so it can be built without dnsmasq. It's probably a good idea to make the failure complete though. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
