[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.1.2
by Daniel Veillard 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

I am a day late but I finally tagged the release candidate 1 of 1.1.2 in git and push the tarball and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ so the plan is to have an rc2 candidate on friday and if everything looks good push the final release 1.1.2 on Monday. Please give it a try especially for potential portability issues, thanks in advance !

[Libvirt-announce] Libvirt Sandbox mini-website
by Daniel P. Berrange 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

While we've been working on it for a little while, we've never really had any content on libvirt.org focusing on the libvirt sandbox toolkit. To address this content gap, I've started a small website to provide useful info around their design, technology & usage. http://sandbox.libvirt.org/ 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] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Sahara Desert" release 0.5.0
by Daniel P. Berrange 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '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 has focused entirely on improving the virt-sandbox-service tool This release focused on major feature development. Changed in this release: - Switch to use persistent libvirt configuration files for service sandboxes - Store service configs in /etc/libvirt-sandbox/services/$NAME/ instead of /etc/libvirt-sandbox/services/$NAME.sandbox to allow storage of multiple files per sandbox - Add a new 'virt-sandbox-service upgrade NAME' command, to be run by admin for all existing service sandboxes to upgrade their configuration to be compatible with the new release - Remove start, stop, list commands from virt-sandbox-service, with recomendation to use start, destroy & list commands in virsh instead. - Remove duplicate -u option in man page - Update man page examples - Stop generating a UNIT_sandbox.target unit, instead letting the sandbox unit tie into multi-user.target as normal - Remove unimplemented APIs for graphical sandboxes, to be re-added at a later date when actually functional - Add padding to public structs, to facilitate preservation of public ABI compatibility in future - Add note about default libvirt URIs in man page - Fix cloning of sandboxes 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 :|
