The new module ‘Std_utils’ contains only functions which are pure
OCaml and depend only on the OCaml stdlib. Therefore these functions
may be used by the generator.
The new module is moved to ‘common/mlstdutils’.
This also removes the "<stdlib>" hack, and the code which copied the
library around.
Also ‘Guestfs_config’, ‘Libdir’ and ‘StringMap’ modules are moved
since these are essentially the same.
The bulk of this change is just updating files which use
‘open Common_utils’ to add ‘open Std_utils’ where necessary.
The ‘Xml’ module is a self-contained library of bindings for libxml2,
with no other dependencies.
Move it to a separate ‘common/mlxml’ directory.
This is not pure refactoring. For unclear reasons, the previous
version of ‘Xml.parse_file’ read the whole file into memory and then
called ‘xmlReadMemory’. This was quite inefficient, and unnecessary
because we could use ‘xmlReadFile’ to read and parse the file
efficiently. Changing the code to use ‘xmlReadFile’ also removes the
unnecessary dependency on ‘Common_utils.read_whole_file’.
The ‘Progress’ module is a self-contained library with the only
dependencies being:
- the C ‘progress’ implementation
Move it to a separate ‘common/mlprogress’ directory.
This change is pure code refactoring.
The ‘Visit’ module is a self-contained library with the only
dependencies being:
- the C ‘visit’ implementation
- the guestfs OCaml bindings
Move it to a separate ‘common/mlvisit’ directory.
This change is not entirely refactoring. Two other fixes are made:
- remove unsafe use of CLEANUP_FREE from a function which could
raise an OCaml exception (cleanup handlers would not be called
correctly if the exception is thrown)
- don't link directly to common/visit/visit.c, but instead use
the library (common/visit/libvisit.la)
Add a RELEASES file which contains the release date for each version
of libguestfs. When a new version is released, the configure script
checks that the date has not been omitted from the file.
This also fixes the release date for version 1.37.16 which I omitted
from commit 9455f21237.
Gnulib installs two files: ‘GNUmakefile’ and ‘maint.mk’. The first
one runs the second one, and the second one sets LC_ALL=C universally.
However this breaks the ‘bugzilla’ script (or Python) because some
bugs contain non-ASCII characters in their Summary. The script prints
this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bugzilla", line 1117, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/bugzilla", line 1112, in main
_format_output(bz, opt, buglist)
File "/usr/bin/bugzilla", line 702, in _format_output
print(format_field_re.sub(bug_field, opt.outputformat))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 108-109: ordinal not in range(128)
The simplest fix for this is to unset LC_ALL before running the
external script, so that the normal locale settings are used.
Because v2v/test-harness is a subdirectory of v2v, and because both
paths are listed in $(DIST_SUBDIRS), using find $(DIST_SUBDIRS) will
list files in v2v/test-harness twice. (This probably happens in other
directories too, but I noticed it here.) The easiest fix for this is
simply to use 'sort -u' to remove the duplicates.
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.
Three more pieces of common code are moved under the common/
subdirectory. This is just code motion.
Note that windows.[ch] wasn't even being used by guestfish. That code
was only used in other virt tools.
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.
This commit, which is just code motion, moves the common XDR protocol
code (libprotocol) and the common errno handling (liberrnostring) into
libraries which are each built once and shared between the library and
daemon.
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.)
The definition of BUILDFILES was accidentally removed, resulting
in the error:
cp /home/rjones/d/websites/libguestfs/download/builder/
cp: missing destination file operand after '/home/rjones/d/websites/libguestfs/download/builder/'
Fixes commit 65a0570385.
It fails with:
File "../builder/templates/make-template.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:
Parse error: [a_LIDENT] expected after "#" (in [implem])
End_of_file
An error occurs while processing.
In any case this doesn't matter because this file should not be
translated.
Fixes commit a1ea9a2599.
Create a new directory (builder/template). Integrate all of the
scripts into a single program, so that templates are generated more
consistently.
This also changes how the index file is generated. The script now
generates the index file fragment and saves it under version control,
and then generates the final index file by concatenating these.
(Previously the index was written by hand which was tedious and
error-prone.)
The new script also saves the generated kickstart under version
control so it can be referenced later.
This makes a number of small changes to how the internal documentation
is generated and what can be documented.
Header files are now permitted to contain internal documentation.
This works in the same wasy as .c files.
Also documentation can be added for structs as well as functions.
This commit also adds documentation to some header files and structs,
and fixes a few places which contained broken header documentation.
When running 'make maintainer-check-extra-dist', check also that all
generated files are included in the tarball. This is done so that end
users will not need OCaml to compile from tarball releases.
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.
Instead of running them before lanching the appliance with the disks and
then uploading the result after root.d hooks run, mount the root in the
local temporary directory using FUSE and then run the hooks on the
guest. Other than being closer to what diskimage-builder does, it also
avoids issues with the extra-data.d scripts assuming to find things
already, and we don't error out while trying to unpack files on the
guest.
Since virt-dib requires FUSE now, build it only if FUSE is supported.
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.
Create a new top level directory called 'utils' and move the
following programs there:
tests/qemu/boot-analysis -> utils/boot-analysis/
tests/qemu/boot-benchmark -> utils/boot-benchmark/
tests/qemu/qemu-boot -> utils/qemu-boot/
tests/qemu/qemu-speed-test -> utils/qemu-speed-test/
Also we only build the boot-analysis program on x86-64 and aarch64,
since it requires custom porting to each architecture.
