Hi,

I'm wondering what, if anything, is happening with this patch.

At the moment libvirt.spec does not work on RHEL 6. There does not appear 
to be any way to stop rpmbuild from wiping the docdir if a %doc directive 
with relative paths exists. (Upstream did correct this behaviour -- see 
http://www.rpm.org/ticket/836 -- but that's in a newer version of RPM than 
that provided on RHEL 6.)

Regards,
Michael
