RHEL/CentOS 6 is still a common development target, and I strongly feel that we should continue to support it out of the box. RHEL 5 is starting to fade, though, so we may finally be able to bump to something newer than autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.6. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
