Introduce and use a new inspect_mount_root function to mount all the
mountpoints of a root in the guest, replacing the same code doing that
in different tools.
inspect_mount_root_ro is inspect_mount_root with readonly mount option.
Instead of creating Guestfs handles and manually apply common options
(e.g. debug and trace), use the open_guestfs in Common_utils.
This also applies the common options to handles which didn't set them
before, so we can inspect also their messages if needed.
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.
Unfortunately Coccinelle places a Config module in the ocaml libdir,
and this confuses ocamlfind (only when Coccinelle is installed).
Since this is a private module that only libguestfs tools use
internally, just rename it from Config -> Guestfs_config.
This is just a straight refactoring. Various ad hoc string_*
functions that appeared in Common_utils have been renamed and placed
in the String.* namespace. The old vs "new" functions are:
string_prefix -> String.is_prefix
string_suffix -> String.is_suffix
string_find -> String.find
replace_str -> String.replace
string_nsplit -> String.nsplit
string_split -> String.split
string_lines_split -> String.lines_split
string_random8 -> String.random8
Split in an own function the code dong the mounting, the inspection of
the kernel files, and the downloading, including a per-OS function for
the actual kernel files. This gives few advantages:
- the download phease is not repeated for all the files to fetch
- it is easier to eventually support multi-root disk images
- it is possible to support OSes different than Linux; virt-get-kernel
now will just report the unsupported OS, instead of a generic
"no kernel found" message
This is mostly code refactoring, with (on Linux) no actual behaviour
change.
Introduce a new common helper to add the common options for libguestfs
tools (short/long options, version, verbose, trace), and sort them.
All the OCaml-based tools had these options already, so there are no
functional changes in the interface they provide.
The only difference is that now the options are always sorted, while
some tools didn't had them like that previously: because of this, a
couple of ditto markers (as descriptions) don't match what's above them
anymore, and thus their full description is put instead.
Because this 'feature' is broken (since 2013):
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13928
we have to replace all instances of $(top_srcdir) in *_SOURCES lines
with a relative path. According to what I read, this shouldn't break
split builds, but I didn't test it.
The only things automake moans about now are:
* Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/ at /usr/bin/automake line 3936.
- This is another bug in automake
* autoreconf: configure.ac: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used, but not AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
- This is a feature, not a bug.
Extract the guest kernel/ramdisk extraction from virt-builder into a
separate utility, so it can be used and improved without cluttering
virt-builder.
Currently it does what virt-builder --get-kernel did, adding also the
options for remote disks and libvirt access, much like other libguestfs
tools.
virt-builder --get-kernel now just spawns virt-get-kernel.
