Port update for libvirt (1.3.5 -> 2.4.0), and new Perl bindings for libvirt

Description

Hello! I have an update to the libvirt port, updating it to version 2.4.0. I also have a new, related port: p5-sys-virt, which is the Perl bindings for libvirt.

Ryan is listed as the maintainer with an openmaintainer policy, so could someone please assign this to him? Thanks very much!

There have been a number of changes since the last update of libvirt:

  • The software is now distributed as a .tar.xz (it used to be a .tar.gz).
  • FUSE support has been added.
  • OpenSSL support has been added (an optional replacement for GNUTLS). Presumably that means LibreSSL will also work.
  • It is now possible to have libvirt manage QEMU VMs.

I decided to make p5-sys-virt a separate port because the Perl binding is distributed separately from libvirt, so having p5-sys-virt be a subport of libvirt seemed too messy.

I'm attaching two files:

  • A new Portfile for p5-sys-virt
  • An updated Portfile for libvirt

You can also see my changes on Github, using this URL: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/compare/master...akkornel:libvirt?expand=1

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks much!

Thanks. ​Per the guidelines, please instead attach a unified diff of the libvirt Portfile so we can easily see what changes you are proposing.

OK, diff has been attached!

Looks very good. Some comments:

libvert:

  • Use the line use_xz yes instead of manually setting extract.suffix and adding the depends_extract port:xz line

p5-sys-virt:

  • openmaintainer by itself is invalid. Use nomaintainer instead.
  • The stub port should have no dependencies. So remove the else clause entirely.

Pull request for 4.1.0: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/1462

I did not include the perl module. I don't know whether to package them from CPAN or upstream directly and I am not able to test these bindings.
