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 brings libguestfs into line with other projects which have a
separate include/ directory for the public header.
It's also the case that <guestfs.h> has never particularly belonged in
the lib/ subdirectory. Some tools add -Ilib/ but they only need
<guestfs.h> and not any other headers from that directory, and
separating out the public header allows us to clean those up. This is
certainly the case for examples, and some language bindings and some
tests.
In future I'm hopeful we can use this as the basis to tease out other
dependencies, as a prelude to separating them out from the repo.
Add a simple way to do not even provide prototypes of deprecated
functions in the C library: this way, users (like our tools) can build
against the library making sure to not use any deprecated function, not
even when compiler deprecation warnings are disabled.
Add it to the majority of our tools/internal libraries, and make sure
that it is not defined when building the API bridges of our bindings.
This is mostly code motion but:
(1) I had to remove the compile-time COMPILING_GUESTFISH and
COMPILING_VIRT_RESCUE macros and replace them with runtime constants
and checks.
(2) I moved the fish/config.c file into this library.
Just code motion.
This commit makes it clearer what is a utility and what is part of the
library. It also makes it clear that we should rename:
guestfs-internal-frontend.h -> utils.h
guestfs-internal-frontend-cleanups.h -> cleanups.h (?)
but this commit does not make that change.
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.)
Create a new libfishcommon convenience static library to build just once
(instead of 12 times!) the majority of the guestfish sources used in the
rest of the C tools (mostly for command line stuff, inspection, and
mount).
The notable exceptions not using libfishcommon are guestfish itself, and
virt-rescue: both need to build at least one of the common sources using
additional CPPFLAGS.
By adding common CLEANFILES and DISTCLEANFILES variables to
common-rules.mk, we can remove these from most other Makefiles, and
also clean files more consistently.
Note that bin_PROGRAMS are already cleaned by 'make clean', so I
removed cases where these were unnecessarily added to CLEANFILES.
By moving these two functions out of the common options parsing code,
it means we don't need to depend on all the other machinery of options
parsing, such as the global variables ("verbose"), libconfig, etc.
podcheck.pl is run as part of the tests to perform various checks on
the documentation and the tool.
Currently we check only that the documented options matches the
options that the tool implements and vice versa. This commit would
also allow us (in future) to check --help, --long-options,
--short-options, --version output.
This commit includes scripts to run the tests and various fixes to the
manual pages to ensure that the tests pass.
Remove man pages and other pages which 'make clean' did not remove
before.
To evaluate which pages could be removed, I did a full build and
check, and then ran 'make clean' followed by 'git clean -xdf'. By
examining the output of the git clean command I could see which files
were being missed.
Files that are _not_ removed by make clean or make distclean:
- generator-built files
- Makefile, Makefile.in, .deps, .depend
- any ./configure output files (maybe they should be?)
Move the random set of HTML files we build from html/ into
the website/ directory.
Also in the website/ directory, put the index.html file from
http://libguestfs.org, which was previously not under version control.
It is generated from index.html.in so we can automatically add the
current version and release date.
Also in the website/ directory, put various CSS file, images, etc.
which are required by the website and were also previously not under
version control.
Change the 'make website' rule to 'make maintainer-upload-website'.
As the name suggests, it is only useful for the maintainer, and will
fail with an error for anyone else.
This gives us finer control over how system calls are done,
and also potentially lets us test more.
Currently two tests are disabled:
- utimens because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1144766
- utimes because our stat call does not return the nanosecond fields
Add a remote drive by doing:
guestfish -a ssh://example.com/path/to/disk.img
There are several different protocols supported, as explained in the
man page.
This affects all virt-* tools that use the common guestfish options
parsing code.
The libutils convenience library is a place for code shared between
the main library, language bindings and virt tools. Note that the
code is statically linked into both the library, each binding and each
tool, but this is an improvement because (a) the source is shared and
(b) libguestfs.so can export fewer private functions.
Currently it contains the cleanup functions, and the functions
guestfs___free_string_list function and guestfs___for_each_disk.
guestfs___for_each_disk has changed so that it no longer
unconditionally sets the error in the guestfs handle. Instead callers
can control error handling.
Not to be confused with the libxml2 macro 'BAD_CAST' which converts
from 'signed char *' to 'unsigned char *'.
The 'bad_cast' function was defined and used all over the place as a
replacement for a '(char *)' cast. I think it is better to make these
casts explicit, instead of hiding them in an obscure function.
These configure flags enable code profiling (with gprof) and code
coverage (with gcov) respectively.
Although this is a nice idea, it's not currently very useful.
Libtool mangles filenames in such a way that gcov cannot locate its
datafiles.
Profiling is of dubious utility with libguestfs which is not CPU-bound
and relies extensively on running external programs (oprofile-like
system profiling that took into account libguestfs + qemu or
libguestfs + qemu + the appliance + filesystem tools *would* be
useful).
Also neither flag will help in capturing data from the appliance.
libguestfs fails to build with --enable-fuse on openSuSE 11.4 and
earlier because the included fuse version does not include
libulockmgr.so. configure already used pkgconfig to retrieve the correct
CFLAGS, so there is no need to hardcode -lulockmgr.
With this change the build succeeds again.

This adds standard LICENSE and BUGS sections to all of the man pages
that are processed by podwrapper.
Modify all the calls to $(PODWRAPPER) to add the right --license
parameter according to the content. Note that this relaxes the
license on some code example pages, making them effectively BSD-style
licensed.
Add FUSE support directly to the API. Instead of needing to use the
external 'guestmount' command, you can mount the libguestfs filesystem
space on a local mountpoint using an API call from any language.
Note that although mount-local-run is marked as Cancellable, the
current implementation does not support it, but it would be relatively
simple to add it.
