[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for 1.2.0, rc1 available
by Daniel Veillard 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

So as planned we are entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.0, I just tagged the git trees - plural as we now use libvirt-python separate git for this binding - and pushed tarballs and rpms to the usual place at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ it did allows a correct update at the rpm level for me and virt-manager does work correctly at least with my minimal testing. We now need further reviews, obviously on the portability front especially as the python bindings are a separate tarball. It would be cool to get more testing on specific aspects of the release too, like the gluster pool and VBox 4.3 support. Give it a try, thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Cholistan" release 0.5.1
by Daniel P. Berrange 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.5.0, is now available for download ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/sandbox/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) The libvirt-sandbox package provides an API layer on top of libvirt-gobject which facilitates the cration of application sandboxes using virtualization technology. An application sandbox is a virtual machine or container that runs a single application binary, directly from the host OS filesystem. In other words there is no separate guest operating system install to build or manager. At this point in time libvirt-sandbox can create sandboxes using either LXC or KVM, and should in theory be extendable to any libvirt driver. This release focused on exclusively on bugfixing Changed in this release: - Fix path to systemd binary (prefers dir /lib/systemd not /bin) - Remove obsolete commands from virt-sandbox-service man page - Fix delete of running service container - Allow use of custom root dirs with 'virt-sandbox --root DIR' - Fix 'upgrade' command for virt-sandbox-service generic services - Fix logrotate script to use virsh for listing sandboxed services - Add 'inherit' option for virt-sandbox '-s' security context option, to auto-copy calling process' context - Remove non-existant '-S' option froom virt-sandbox-service man page - Fix line break formatting of man page - Mention LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI in virt-sandbox-service man page - Check some return values in libvirt-sandbox-init-qemu - Remove unused variables - Fix crash with partially specified mount option string - Add man page docs for 'ram' mount type - Avoid close of un-opened file descriptor - Fix leak of file handles in init helpers - Log a message if sandbox cleanup fails - Cope with domain being missing when deleting container - Improve stack trace diagnostics in virt-sandbox-service - Fix virt-sandbox-service content copying code when faced with non-regular files. - Improve error reporting if kernel does not exist - Allow kernel version/path/kmod to be set with virt-sandbox - Don't overmount '/root' in QEMU sandboxes by default - Fix nosuid / nodev mount options for tmpfs - Force 9p2000.u protocol version to avoid QEMU bugs - Fix cleanup when failing to start interactive sandbox - Create copy of kernel from /boot to allow relabelling - Bulk re-indent of code - Avoid crash when gateway is missing in network options - Fix symlink target created in multi-user.target.wants - Add '-p PATH' option for virt-sandbox-service clone/delete to match 'create' command option. - Only allow 'lxc:///' URIs with virt-sandbox-service until further notice - Rollback state if cloning a service sandbox fails - Add more kernel modules instead of assuming they are all builtins - Don't complain if some kmods are missing, as they may be builtins - Allow --mount to be repeated with virt-sandbox-service Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.1.4
by Daniel Veillard 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

I finally tagged and genrated tarballs for RC1 of 1.1.4, so we have now entered freeze. The bits are available as usual at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ My initial testing doesn't show anything suspicious but is limited, so please give it a try, especially for portability issues ! If all goes well i will probably make an rc2 by Thurday and release 1.1.4 for good on Monday 4th. Give it a try ! thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
