From: Michael Tokarev <m...@tls.msk.ru>For a long time, we assumed that libxml2 is necessary for parallels block format support (block/parallels*). However, this format actually does not use libxml [*]. Since this is the only user of libxml2 in whole QEMU tree, we can drop all libxml2 checks and dependencies too. It is even more: --enable-parallels configure option was the only option which was silently ignored when it's (fake) dependency (libxml2) isn't installed. Drop all mentions of libxml2. [*] Actually the basis for libxml use were introduced in commit ed279a06c53 ("configure: add dependency") but the implementation was never merged: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/70227bbd-a517-70e9-714f-e6e0ec431...@openvz.org/ Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <m...@tls.msk.ru> Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20220119090423.149315-1-...@msgid.tls.msk.ru> Tested-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4...@amsat.org> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4...@amsat.org> [PMD: Updated description and adapted to use lcitool] Reviewed-by: Thomas Huth <th...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4...@amsat.org> Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <alex.ben...@linaro.org> Message-Id: <20220121154134.315047-5-f4...@amsat.org>
Reviewed-by: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsement...@virtuozzo.com> Parallels format includes xml disk descriptor format, which was never merged to Qemu. Yes, the introduced dependency was premature, sorry for that :( The implementation of xml part was sent, but only for someone other who want to continue this work, Virtuozzo don't have such plans now: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-11/msg03601.html -- Best regards, Vladimir
