This removes only the tool itself, and all the bits strictly needed to
not break the build.
This is now available as separate tool in its own repository:
https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-p2v
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '../p2v/about-authors.c', needed by 'internal-documentation.pod'. Stop.
Since we're going to remove the whole p2v subdirectory shortly anyway,
it was simplest to ignore the whole directory.
Avoids this error when building from git:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '../common/mllibvirt/libvirt_c.c', needed by 'internal-documentation.pod'. Stop.
This file doesn't have any generated docs or gettext annotations in it
so adding it to these files is useless anyway.
Add a copy of the libvirt-ocaml library, currently available at:
https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-ocaml.git;a=summary
This is a snapshot at commit d3ed8dcf1b0a6a8a855ceecbe0bb97f21e6665e3,
which has all the features we need (and that builds fine).
It is expected to stay synchronized with upstream, until there is a new
upstream release, and it will be widespread enough.
While there are input modes that do not use libvirt, making libvirt
mandatory for virt-v2v slightly simplifies the code now, and allow for
further improvements/integration with libvirt later on.
No functional change, but it does allow downstream distributions to
adjust the nbdkit Python plugin used by virt-v2v -o rhv-upload mode:
./configure --with-virt-v2v-nbdkit-python-plugin=...
This directory which previously contained random modules and functions
now has an official purpose: to be the place for any OCaml utility
needed by the OCaml virt tools.
This is just code movement, I didn't (yet) rename or move any of the
modules.
Although it's not too likely that these libraries will contain
translatable strings, it's consistent to add them to po/POTFILES-ml
because mllib/*.ml are also in this file.
This commit bundles the ocaml-augeas library (upstream here:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=ocaml-augeas.git;a=summary). It's identical
to the upstream version and should remain so.
We can work towards using system ocaml-augeas, when it's more widely
available.
When parts of the daemon were previously converted to OCaml, the
previous PCRE regexps were converted to Str regexps. Restore the
original PCRE regexps.
There was also one case where an original call to glob(3) was replaced
by a Str regexp, and this is replaced by a PCRE regexp (although it is
in fact identical in this instance).
This updates commit b48da89dd6
and commit eeda6edca1
and commit 2ca0fa778d.
This change allows parts of the daemon to be written in the OCaml
programming language. I am using the ‘Main Program in C’ method along
with ‘-output-obj’ to create an object file from the OCaml code /
runtime, as described here:
https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/intfc.html
Furthermore, change the generator to allow individual APIs to be
implemented in OCaml. This is picked by setting:
impl = OCaml <ocaml_function>;
The generator creates ‘do_function’ (the same one you would have to
write by hand in C), with the function calling the named
‘ocaml_function’ and dealing with marshalling/unmarshalling the OCaml
parameters.
The gobject bindings are adequately covered in the usual manual pages:
guestfs(3). There is no need for separate generation of gtk-doc.
Also generating gtk documentation is the slowest part of the build,
and the tooling around gtk-doc is broken
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1465665).
Note this removes the configure ‘--enable-gtk-doc’ option. Using this
option now gives a warning, but is otherwise ignored:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-gtk-doc
Create a module ‘C_utils’ containing functions like ‘drive_name’ and
‘shell_unquote’ which come from the C utilities.
The new directory ‘common/mlutils’ also contains the ‘Unix_utils’
wrappers around POSIX functions missing from the OCaml stdlib.
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.
