+ + + use of GNULIB has been completely eliminated + + + Historically libvirt has embedded GNULIB to provide fixes for + various platform portability problems. This usage has now been + eliminated and alternative approaches for platform portability + problems adopted where required. This has been validated on the + set of platforms covered by automated CI build testing: Fedora + 30, 31 and rawhide; CentOS 7 and 8; Debian 9 and 10; Ubuntu 18.0= 4; + FreeBSD 11 and 12; Mingw-w64; macOS 10.14 with XCode 10.3 and 11= .3. + Other Linux distros of a similar vintage using GLibC are expected + to work. Linux distros using non-GLibC packages, and other + non-Linux platforms may encounter regressions when building this + release. Please report any build problems encountered back to the + project maintainers for resolution. + +
