This file is mainly a central place to:
- include localenv if it exists, and
- define the RHEL 5 backwards compatibility macros, instead of
spreading them over every other file.
As with Perl, you can now set INSTALLDIRS to control where Ruby places
its files (ie. in the site dir, which is the default, or in the vendor
dir).
The difference in file layout between 'make install' and
'make INSTALLDIRS=vendor install' is shown below (for Fedora 18).

For prompting me to fix this, thanks: Hilko Bengen.
Ruby ships its own config.h which may or may not define the same
relevant constants as our autoconf-generated config.h. Instead of
trying to specify the exact path to the wanted header file we may just
as well simply use Ruby's autoconf-inspired checks and macros.
Certain functions are intended to be internal only, but we currently
export them anyway. This change moves them into a separate section of
guestfs.h protected by a GUESTFS_PRIVATE variable. This change also
enables private structs, but doesn't implement any.
This change only affects the C api. Language bindings aren't affected,
but probably should be in the future.
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.
section.
Ensure each man page contains consistent COPYRIGHT and AUTHOR
sections.
Remove the LICENSE section. We will add that back in podwrapper in a
later commit.
Since our minimum supported version is now 1.16 and mount was fixed in
1.13.16, it is now safe to replace mount-options + empty options with
mount wherever it occurs.
In libguestfs 1.20, you will be able to use 'add_drive'
instead of 'add_drive_opts' (except in the C bindings).
However until libguestfs 1.20 is the minimum stable version
people will still be using old versions where you have to use
'add_drive_opts'. This makes the examples confusing.
Therefore continue to use 'add_drive_opts' in the examples
for now.
By using the once_had_no_optargs flag, this change is backwards
compatible for callers (except Haskell, PHP and GObject as discussed
in earlier commit).
The new API splits orderly close into a two-step process:
if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) {
/* handle the error, eg. qemu error */
}
guestfs_close (g);
Note that the explicit shutdown step is only necessary in the case
where you have made changes to the disk image and want to handle write
errors. Read the documentation for further information.
This change also:
- deprecates guestfs_kill_subprocess
- turns guestfs_kill_subprocess into the same as guestfs_shutdown
- changes guestfish and other tools to call shutdown + close
where necessary (not for read-only tools)
- updates documentation
- updates examples
This option, when added via
TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = [...] $(top_builddir)/run --test
allows us to run the tests and only print the full output (including
debugging etc) when the test fails.
RHEL 5-era autoconf did not define these, so define them manually
when they are missing.
Define builddir as '.' The scripts require this. It won't work
in the srcdir != builddir case, but we don't care about that for
RHEL 5.
This commit also moves the builddir / abs_srcdir variable setting
above the include of subdir-rules.mk, in case that include uses
these variables.
Useful script:
for f in $(find -name Makefile.am | xargs fgrep '$(abs_srcdir)' -l) ; do
if ! grep -q '^abs_srcdir' $f; then
echo missing in $f
fi
done
I noticed some uses of ${srcdir} in shell scripts.
That is almost always better written as $srcdir.
The patch below converts most such variable references.
Here are the few remaining candidates:
$ git grep -i -E '\$\{[a-zA-Z_0-9]+\}'|grep -v Makefile.in.in
configure.ac: JAR_INSTALL_DIR=\${prefix}/share/java
configure.ac: JNI_INSTALL_DIR=\${libdir}
debian/rules: for TEST in ${DEBIAN_SKIP_TEST}; do \
debian/rules:# mv $${mod} $$(dirname $${mod})/libguestfsmod.so; \
java/Makefile.am:libguestfs_jar_DATA = libguestfs-${VERSION}.jar
java/Makefile.am:libguestfs-${VERSION}.jar: $(libguestfs_jar_class_files)
perl/lib/Sys/Guestfs/Lib.pm: "-f", '${Package} ${Version} ${Architecture} ${Status}\n',
perl/typemap: croak (\"${Package}::$func_name(): called on a closed handle\");
perl/typemap: croak (\"${Package}::$func_name(): $var is not a blessed HV reference\");
tests/data/Makefile.am: echo "$${i}abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; \
We could change all of those, too, except the ones in configure.ac
and Makefile.am, since they refer to Make variables. Even those
should be changed, but to use the preferred Makefile notation:
$(prefix), $(libdir), $(VERSION).

Subject: [PATCH libguestfs] maint: use $var notation rather than ${var} when
possible
The only case to avoid in a shell script is when the byte after the
"}" is word-constituent, and concatenating it would thus change the
name of the variable.
These changes were induced by running this command:
git grep -l -i -E '\$\{(srcdir|md)' \
|xargs perl -pi -e 's/\$\{(srcdir|md)\}($|\w)/\$$1$2/gi'
The "g" was needed because there was one line with two instances.
The "i" is to handle ${SRCDIR}. The ($|\w) ensures that concatenating
whatever follows the "}" won't change semantics.
* gobject/run-bindtests: Use "$srcdir", not "${srcdir}".
* haskell/run-bindtests: Likewise.
* java/run-bindtests: Likewise.
* ocaml/run-bindtests: Likewise.
* perl/run-bindtests: Likewise.
* python/run-bindtests: Likewise.
* ruby/run-bindtests: Likewise.
* tests/guests/guest-aux/make-debian-img.sh: Likewise, but $SRCDIR.
* tests/guests/guest-aux/make-ubuntu-img.sh: Likewise.
* tests/guests/guest-aux/make-windows-img.sh: Likewise.
* tests/md/test-mdadm.sh: Likewise, but $md.
This avoids conflicts with the globally installed libguestfs
appliance, or lets us build in multiple local directories at the same
time without conflicts.
Fix guestfish (and other C tools) so that they ignore errors
when /etc/fstab contains bogus entries.
Update the documentation for inspect-get-mountpoints to emphasize
that callers must be aware of this when mounting the returned
values.
Add a regression test.
Update the example code ("inspect_vm") to reflect the way this
API ought to be called.
