[libvirt] [RFC PATCH] build: isolate core libvirt libs deps from xen runtime
Posted by Wim Ten Have 8 years ago 
From: Wim ten Have <wim.ten.have@oracle.com>

Generating libvirt packages per make rpm, "with_libxl=1" and "with_xen=1",
adds strict runtime dependencies per libxenlight for xen-libs package from
core libvirt-libs package.  This is not necessary and unfortunate since
those dependencies set demand to "xen-libs" package even when there's no
need for libvirt xen or libxl driver components.

This patch is to have two separate xenconfig lib tool libraries: one for
core libvirt (without XL), and a another that contains xl for libxl driver
(libvirt_driver_libxl_impl.la) which when loading the driver, loads the
remaining symbols (xen{Format,Parse}XL. For the user/sysadmin, this means
the xen dependencies are moved into libxl driver, instead of core libvirt.

This can also be seen in the local build artifacts, e.g.

$libvirtsrc> ldd src/.libs/libvirt.so | grep xen
   libxenlight.so.4.9 => /usr/lib64/libxenlight.so.4.9 (0x00007f896ec3e000)

I think this is a good short-term fix given the code structure. During my sparse 
free cycles I've been working on a series to remove the legacy xen driver. 
Perhaps as part of that work (or a follow-up) I should move the files in 
src/xenconfig to src/libxl since the libxl driver will be the only user of 
src/xenconfig once the legacy xen driver is removed.

This breaks the column alignment with all the preceeding '\'.

There's nothing left in this file after removing these :-). I think the file can 
be removed, along with its inclusion in {USED_,}SYM_FILES in src/Makefile.am.

Jim
