Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] daemon: Drop dependency on libvirt-admin.so

Currently, the daemon requires libvirt-admin.so because the functions encoding/decoding RPC messages for admin APIs live there. But this makes it very hard to split admin API into its own separate package: if libvirt-admin.so is going to live in a separate package than the daemon, either both packages must be installed or none. Solve this by statically linking the RPC message handling functions with the daemon. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; --- I'm a bit torn. I'm tempted to rewrite some parts of admin API so that it follows the driver architecture we have for other areas, e.g. domain drivers. Until then, this patch is needed.
