Adds these commits:
Richard W.M. Jones (5):
mlstdutils: Modify List.take, List.drop to match OCaml 5.3
mlstdutils: Rename List.dropwhile -> drop_while, takewhile -> take_while
mlstdutils: Add List.last function
mlstdutils: Move List module first
mlstdutils: Add String.common_prefix, longest_common_prefix
Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
This option was removed from qemu for no apparent reason except to
break existing consumers. It does the same as -no-user-config, added
in May 2012, so use that instead.
While YAJL mostly works fine, it did not see any active development in
the last 3 years. OTOH, Jansson is another JSON C implementation, with
a very liberal license, and a much nicer API.
Hence, switch all of libguestfs from YAJL to Jansson:
- configure checks, and buildsystem in general
- packages pulled in the appliance
- actual implementations
- contrib scripts
- documentation
This also makes use of the better APIs available (e.g. json_object_get,
json_array_foreach, and json_object_foreach). This does not change the
API of our OCaml Yajl module.
This adds a contrib script which can be used to build the virt-p2v ISO
on top of RHEL 5 or RHEL 6, i686 (32 bit) or x86-64 (64 bit) base.
There is also a script for testing the ISOs produced this way.
Run the following command over the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[01][0-9])-2016/$1-2017/g' `git ls-files`
(Thanks Rich for the perl snippet, as used in past years.)
Instead of hardcoding the location of perl (assuming it is installed in
/usr), use /usr/bin/env to run it, and thus picking it from $PATH.
This makes it possible to run these scripts also on installations with
perl in a different prefix than /usr.
Also, given that we want enable warnings on scripts, turn the -w
previously in shebang to explicit "use warnings;" in scripts which
didn't have it before.
Allow the tests to be run on the installed libguestfs.so library and
on installed programs (but not installed language bindings, yet).
To run the tests, you have to have a copy of the libguestfs source
tree with exactly the same version as the installed libguestfs. You
have to build the libguestfs source tree. Then you do:
make installcheck
I investigated making automake 'make installcheck' work, but it's
basically broken (no surprise there).
This is derived from the old 'make-check-on-installed.pl'
script (which is also removed in this patch).
This runs all of the check* rules. Since this includes 'make check',
'make check-all' is not quite equivalent to the old 'make extra-tests'
which was removed in the previous commit.
guestfsd calls many different tools. Keeping track of all of them is
error prone. This patch introduces a new helper macro to put the command
string into its own ELF section:
GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD(C_variable, command_name);
This syntax makes it still possible to grep for used command names.
The actual usage of the collected list could be like this:
objcopy -j .guestfsd_ext_cmds -O binary daemon/guestfsd /dev/stdout |
tr '\0' '\n' | sort -u
The resulting output will be used to tell mkinitrd which programs to
copy into the initrd.

RWMJ:
- Move str_vgchange at request of author.
- Fix snprintf call in daemon/debug.c
Since our minimum supported version is now 1.16 and mount was fixed in
1.13.16, it is now safe to replace mount-options + empty options with
mount wherever it occurs.
This is a short (10-15 min) talk that I give to introduce the main
features of libguestfs. The "slides" are in the form of a complete
self-contained HTML page with a handful images that can be easily
distributed before the talk.
Remove the hack that let you run ./fish/guestfish or
./fuse/guestmount. You now have to do:
./run ./fish/guestfish
or
./run ./fuse/guestmount
to run these programs without installing.
This is an extensible version of 'mkfs' which supports optional
arguments. There is now no need for 'mkfs_b' since you should
use 'mkfs_opts' with the optional 'blocksize' argument instead.
