[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#688167: libvirt: Please port to libnl-3.x

[biebl at debian.org]

Source: libvirt
Version: 0.9.12-5
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: libnl1-removal

Hi,

libvirt has a build-dependency on libnl-dev [1].
libnl-1.x is no longer actively developed [2] and has been superseded
by libnl-3.x [3].
Please port libvirt to this new version resp. notify upstream to get
libvirt updated.
One of the major changes in v3 is that the library was split into
several smaller libraries. You can find a developer' guide and
API documentation for each library at [2].

Cheers,
Michael
