What about a spec update? Did that happen and I just missed it? -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
