Gconv package split in glibc

Most Gconv modules with the exception of unicode and similar essential ones have been split into a separate package called glibc-gconv-extra. Currently, the core package glibc has a strong (Requires) dependency on glibc-gconv-extra making this change transparent to users. This proposal is to weaken this dependency to Recommends so that it is possible to remove glibc-gconv-extra from installations that do not need it.

Libvirt Modular Daemons

Historically all libvirt functionality was provided in the monolithic libvirtd daemon. Upstream has developed a new modular architecture for libvirt where each driver is run in its own daemon. Primarily this provides better robustness as a flaw in a secondary daemon will not affect the QEMU daemon and vica-versa. It should also have slightly lower host startup overhead, because only the installed hypervisor daemon(s) will need to be fully started on boot, the other daemons can be socket activated on demand.

+===[[Changes/Gconv package split in glibc | Gconv package split in glibc]]===
+Most Gconv modules with the exception of unicode and similar essential ones have been split into a separate package called glibc-gconv-extra. Currently, the core package glibc has a strong (Requires) dependency on glibc-gconv-extra making this change transparent to users. This proposal is to weaken this dependency to Recommends so that it is possible to remove glibc-gconv-extra from installations that do not need it.

-* Owner: Simon Pichugin
+Historically all libvirt functionality was provided in the monolithic libvirtd daemon. Upstream has developed a new modular architecture for libvirt where each driver is run in its own daemon. Primarily this provides better robustness as a flaw in a secondary daemon will not affect the QEMU daemon and vica-versa. It should also have slightly lower host startup overhead, because only the installed hypervisor daemon(s) will need to be fully started on boot, the other daemons can be socket activated on demand.
