thank you very much for reply. but what should I do if I want to build release tarball myself (for 6.0.0..)? I would like to backport some features to 6.0.0..

hmm. it looks like `make -j3 dist` could produce a tarball for 6.0.0.. Is it the right approach?

Yes, if your goal is to create a release archive for libvirt 6.0.0 with some patches on top[1] then the best way to go about it is to clone the repo, branch off the v6.0.0 tag, cherry-pick the changes you're interested in and then generate the archive using 'make distcheck'.
