Not sure why it should be "upstream only".
I meant only that we would just put it in git, and not try to backport
it (so it wouldn't affect people using current tarballs).
In any case, the big issue in this case is that you cannot build
virt-v2v with libguestfs from git. So until that is done, bumping
the version requirements means that almost noone (unless they install
libguestfs) can work on virt-v2v...
I guess because virt-v2v and libguestfs are more intimately connected
than other dependencies, it's worth trying to make this work. I
thought we could do it already using ‘../libguestfs/run’, so I
uninstalled libguestfs from my laptop and tried it, but:
$ ../libguestfs/run ./autogen.sh [other stuff] && make
checking for LIBGUESTFS... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libguestfs >= 1.40) were not met:
Well how hard can it be ... I'll see if I can fix this.
