I don't see a variable with this name. sysctl tunables sound like they are Linux-specific. And the actual installation of libvirtd.sysctl was introduced in 0.9.7 (commit 5298551), not 0.9.8. But there was some Makefile.am refactoring for 0.9.8 related to installation of systemd init scripts for Linux; perhaps that re-factoring exposed a problem with installing libvirtd.sysctl on non-Linux systems? Is there a way to gracefully disable this during the build, if it is not needed? Sounds like we need a patch to daemon/Makefile.am to disable installation of the sysctl file on non-Linux systems. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com+1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
