Change Index.arch to the type (Arch of string | GuessedArch of string).
In a future commit, the index parser will allow arch not to be set
for some cases. Thus arch value will be guessed by inspecting the
image. However we need to distinguish between a set value and a guessed
one. Using this new type will help it:
match arch with
| Arch s -> (* This is a set value *)
| GuessedArch s -> (* This is a guessed value *)
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.
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.)
Add a simple helper to run a command from a sequence of arguments,
without using a shell: this should help reducing the amount of quoting
ineeded, since arguments are passed straight as such.
Make use of it in the places currently using shell_command, and which
don't assume they can run anything (so no shell redirections, `env`,
etc).
Add a Utils module. This contains common error/warning/info functions,
and also quote = Filename.quote.
Examine every existing call to printf/eprintf and change where
necessary so that:
- error is used instead of eprintf + exit 1
- warning no longer needs ~prog argument (it is added by Utils module)
- any verbose output should go to stdout, not stderr
- info is used to print general informational messages

virt-v2v:
- These tools consistently used -v to mean verbose/debugging
and -x to mean enable libguestfs tracing.
virt-builder:
virt-resize:
- These two tools did not recognize -x at all, and used -v
to enable libguestfs tracing and general debugging.
- This commit changes these two tools to consume -v/-x
consistently with the other tools.
Unfortunately this has a cascade of effects through the code.
