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').
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.)
Allow null as value for the editor parameter of edit_file_editor, which
will then get it from the EDITOR envvar (falling back on vi).
This is basically code motion from the two edit_file_editor users to it.
This API is an easier to use version of the existing guestfs_available,
because the new API returns true/false instead of throwing an error
when a feature from the list is not available.
In truth we've had this implementation internally in the library
and several tools and in Sys::Guestfs::Lib for a long time. This
change just turns it into a publicly consumable API.
This commit rearranges the internal header files.
"src/guestfs-internal.h" is just for the library, as before.
"src/guestfs-internal-frontend.h" is for use by all library, bindings,
tools C code, but NOT the daemon.
"src/guestfs-internal-all.h" is for use by all C code including the
daemon.
This is just code motion, but it has some important consequences:
(1) We can use the CLEANUP_* macros in bindings and tools code.
(2) We can get rid of TMP_TEMPLATE_ON_STACK.
(3) We will (in future) be able to stop bindings and tools code from
using the safe_* allocation functions (which are NOT safe to use
outside the library alone).
gettextize provides a local file called "gettext.h". Remove this and
use <libintl.h> from glibc headers instead.
Most of this change is mechanical: #include <libintl.h> in every C
file which uses any gettext function. But also we remove the
gettext.h file, and adjust the "_" macros.
Note that this effectively removes the ./configure --disable-nls
option, although we don't know if that ever worked.
Be more consistent in allowing the user to override use of the
temporary directory by specifying $TMPDIR. Also prefer P_tmpdir
macro (defined in <stdio.h>) if that is defined, rather than
hard-coding "/tmp" for the fallback location.
The guestfish-only commands such as 'alloc' and 'edit' are
now generated from one place in the generator instead of being
spread around ad-hoc in the C code.
The guestfs_write call can be used to create small files with
arbitrary 8 bit content, including \0 bytes.
This replaces and deprecates write-file, which cannot be modified
to use BufferIn because of an unfortunate choice in the ABI: the
size parameter to write-file, if zero, means that the daemon tries
to calculate the length of the buffer using strlen. However this
fails if we pass a zero-length buffer using BufferIn because then
the daemon tries to do strlen on a (really) zero length buffer, not
even containing a terminating \0 character, thus segfaulting.
