Requires glib>= 2.12, we are currently at>= 2.0, right? Would it be OK
to raise the entry barrier?
In master it currently is >= 2.20 due to v9fs_init_worker_threads using
g_thread_get_initialized which was added in 2.20 according to the docs.
Which makes the build fail on rhel-5 (shipping with glib 2.12).
Guess we'll need to clearly define which minimum glib version we want
require. And whenever we want apply this to the whole code base or
allow different minimum requirements for different components.
Requiring glib 2.20 for all components isn't going to fly as we
certainly want be able to run the qemu guest agent almost everythere.
Requiring something newer than 2.0 for the qemu emulator might be
reasonable of there are good reasons (aka useful glib features) though.
Comments?
