The package is build with env \ QEMU=/usr/bin/qemu-kvm \ SUPERMIN=supermin \ SUPERMIN_HELPER=supermin-helper \ ./configure --disable-appliance So the question is: should --disable-appliance just not create the appliance during "make", or should it also remove all supermin support from the resulting binaries (by not creating supermin.d)?

...ater code in configure.ac checks if "x$SUPERMIN" = "xno" and gives an error. That error would be broken/ineffective after this change.

Why does the toplevel Makefile process appliance/, and creates supermin.d during make install, whith configure --disable-appliance? I have to double check what actually happens, it seems it causes startup failures if the resulting binary packages are started on a host that happens to have supermin installed. Olaf
