[lxc-devel] [PATCH] configure.ac: Make our configure more consistent

Stéphane Graber stgraber at ubuntu.com
Sun Dec 15 23:48:38 UTC 2013


This commit does the following changes:
 - Disable rpath by default
 - Switch all of our options to --enable-FEATURE in the help
 - Add auto-detection of libcap availability
 - Add auto-detection of python3 availability
 - Always specify the default value in --help
 - Add a configuration overview at the end
