Re: [PATCH v3 00/38] tools: move most libraries into tools/libs




I have no objections. For the OCaml part in particular I previously said that I believe that it would benefit from either be maintained outside the tree (which requires a clean interface) or moving it to use Dune for its build (triggered by the current make build). Any cleanup that is helping here is welcome.

Subject: [PATCH v3 00/38] tools: move most libraries into tools/libs
 
Move most remaining libraries under tools/libs, including libxenctrl
and libxl. This is resulting in a lot of cleanup work regarding
building libs and restructuring of the tools directory.

After this huge cleanup all dependencies between libraries are defined
in a single rather small file tools/libs/uselibs.mk, which is used to
create the needed make variables and to control the stubdom build
dependencies as well.

Another bonus of the rework is the automation of setting the versions
of unstable libraries. This removes the need to bump those versions
manually for each Xen release.

libfsimage is not moved by this series, as IMO there are some open
questions:
- should it really be unstable?
- is the support of adding external fs-support used in practice, i.e.
  shouldn't the fs-specific sub-libraries be just included into
  libfsimage instead of being loaded dynamically?

The complete series is available via:
