Posted by Michal Privoznik 4 years, 7 months ago

An example how configure looks like with these changes applied:

Michal Prívozník (4):
  configure: Prefer LIBVIRT_RESULT over AC_MSG_NOTICE
  virt-result.m4: Align string more generously
  configure: Colorize output
  virt-result.m4: Colourize summary printings

I find it easier to see at the first glance what features are enabled 
and what are disabled.

Also, the first two patches are independent of the feature, so even if 
we don't want to merge the rest, the first two still derserve review IMO.

If you have an objection, please just state it plainly. IMO if an
outsider looking in on libvir-list saw your comment they may conclude
this is an unwelcoming place

My objection was aesthetical, sorry for not stating it as factually and
eloquently as Peter.

I'll try to spend more time on the messages in the future. (and
preferably after lunch)
