[libvirt] [PATCH] configure: Remove build time checks for (ip|ip6|eb)tables

Judging from the error message it seems like virFileIsExecutable was just a surrogate for access(path, F_OK), but I can re add it. As long as someone at least thinks this is a worthwhile patch otherwise - Cole

I think it's worthwhile; even though the number of self-builders is fairly low, they do take time sorting out on IRC. I agree with Andrea that the virFileIsExecutable call should remain in, since you can never count on one of these self-built systems to have *anything* setup sanely :-P Once this change is made, I think we can remove all the "BuildRequires: (ebtables/iptables/iptables-ipv6)" from the specfile (as long as there is no other odd usage of them in configure.ac)

Oh, hmm, maybe it doesn't, sorry. I was misreading; I thought the report was 'build libvirtd without iptables, install it later, libvirt won't work'.
AFAICT you just changed it to perform a filesystem lookup instead of relying on the information obtained at configure time. And you removed the check on the file being executable, which is probably not a good idea? Judging from the error message it seems like virFileIsExecutable was just a surrogate for access(path, F_OK), but I can re add it. As long as someone at least thinks this is a worthwhile patch otherwise
I think it's worthwhile; even though the number of self-builders is fairly low, they do take time sorting out on IRC. I agree with Andrea that the virFileIsExecutable call should remain in, since you can never count on one of these self-built systems to have *anything* setup sanely :-P
Once this change is made, I think we can remove all the "BuildRequires: (ebtables/iptables/iptables-ipv6)" from the specfile (as long as there is no other odd usage of them in configure.ac)
I didn't do the spec change... it looks like the test suite is indirectly dependent on host iptables/ip6tables/ebtables being available, it's calling into virFirewallValidateBackend somehow. I didn't dig into it though - Cole
