[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: Release of libvirt-sandbox version 0.0.3
by Daniel P. Berrange 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.0.3, 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. The first release is able to run simple command line based programs. This release has focused on making the sandbox infrastructure more reliable and expanding the functionality available. Dan Walsh has also contributed a new tool called virt-sandbox-service which facilitates the creation of sandboxes for running system services like apache. - Ensure root/config filesystems are readonly in KVM - Add support for mounting host disk images in guests - Add support for binding guest filesystems to new locations - Add support for an optional interactive shell for debugging or administrative purposes - Add a virt-sandbox-service script for preparing sandboxes for system services, integrating with systemd - Misc compiler warning fixes - Replace invocation of insmod with direct syscalls - Refactor API to separate interactive sandbox functionality from base class & service sandbox functionality - Rewrite host/guest I/O handling to separate stdout from stderr correctly, improve reliability of startup/shutdown handshakes and propagate exit status back to host - Exec away the first hypervisor specific init process, so generic init process get PID 1 - Turn on reboot-on-panic in KVM to ensure guest exists on fatal problems Some examples $ virt-sandbox -c qemu:///session /bin/date Thu Jan 12 22:30:03 GMT 2012 $ virt-sandbox -c qemu:///session /bin/cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 2 model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version 1.0 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 2793.084 cache size : 4096 KB fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 4 wp : yes flags : fpu de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx lm up rep_good nopl +pni cx16 hypervisor lahf_lm bogomips : 5586.16 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: $ virt-sandbox -c lxc:/// /bin/sh sh-4.2$ ps -axuwf USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND berrange 1 0.0 0.1 167680 4688 pts/0 S+ 22:31 0:00 libvirt-sandbox-init-common berrange 47 0.0 0.0 13852 1608 pts/1 Ss 22:31 0:00 \_ /bin/sh berrange 48 0.0 0.0 13124 996 pts/1 R+ 22:31 0:00 \_ ps -axuwf Feedback / patches / etc should be directed to the main libvirt development mailing list.

[Libvirt-announce] [libvirt] Release of libvirt-0.9.11
by Daniel Veillard 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

So as stated last week I made the release today. It is available from the ftp: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.11.tar.gz along with Fedora 16 rpms I signed. And the release is tagged in the tree so normal development can resume :-) The release is rather big, which is not surprizing since in includes 6 weeks of developments instead of the 4 as usual. BTW considering the rate of the push I still think we should keep a monthly release schedule, this is way higher than most other projects but as long as the people doing the packaging and pushes downstream think it's okay I guess everyone benefits from a shorter cycle (well as long as we don't break API/features !) It is sometime difficult to separate from what to label as an improvement and what to label really as a new feature, in any case there was plenty of both in this release, along with a copious dose of bug fixes: Features: - Add support for the suspend event (Osier Yang) - Add support for event tray moved of removable disks (Osier Yang) - qemu: Support numad (Osier Yang) - cpustats: API, improvements and qemu support (KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Eric Blake) - qemu: support type='hostdev' network devices at domain start (Laine Stump) - Introduce virDomainPMWakeup API (Michal Privoznik) - network: support Open vSwitch (Ansis Atteka) - a number of snapshot improvements (Eric Blake) Portability: - build: fix build on cygwin (Eric Blake) - build: fix mingw ssize_t, syntax check (Eric Blake) - Disable build of commandhelper & ssh on Win32 (Daniel P.

[Libvirt-announce] Start of freeze for libvirt-0.9.11 and availability of rc1
by Daniel Veillard 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

As scheduled, we are entering the freeze for 0.9.11. I think most API additions are now commited to git upstream (please raise your voice quickly if you see something missing !) I have made a release candidate 1 tarball (and associated rpms) at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.11-rc1.tar.gz and the git tree is tagged. I think I will make an release candidate 2 tarball on Wednesday, and I'm hoping for a final release on Friday, or maybe Monday if there are issues found. Please give it a try ! Stability and portability feedback are really welcome as we didn't had a release in Feb and the risk of having something messed up is slightly higher than usual ! thanks in advance, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel(a)veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[Libvirt-announce] [ANNOUNCE] libvirt-glib 0.0.7 release
by Daniel P. Berrange 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.0.7 is now available from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) New in this release: - Fix typo in filesystem access mode constant - Remove incorrect encoding of XML attributes - Add support for USB redirection devices - Add support for SPICE agent device - Fix typo in channel device target constant - Make all string getters return a const string - Keep list of devices sorted in original XML order libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries: - libvirt-glib - Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling - libvirt-gconfig - Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects - libvirt-gobject - Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable, for the first few releases, we are *NOT* guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI stable. ABI stability will only be guaranteed once the bulk of the APIs have been fleshed out and proved in non-trivial application usage. We anticipate this will be within the next 6 months in order to line up with Fedora 17. Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list redhat com development list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.0.6
by Daniel P. Berrange 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.0.6 is now available from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) New in this release: - Add binding for virDomainBlockResize(): gvir_domain_disk_resize(). - Set correct target node attribute for domain interface. gvir_config_domain_interface_set_ifname() should be setting 'dev' attribute under 'target', not 'device'. - Getter for the associated domain of a domain device. - Getters for GVirConfigDomainInterface attributes. - GVirDomainDevice now has an associated GVirConfigDomainDevice. - Remove now redundant 'path' property from GVirDomainDevice subclasses. - Add gvir_domain_get_devices(). - Empty statistics for user-mode interfaces. One of the limitations of user-mode networking of libvirt is that you can't get statistics for it (not yet, at least). Instead of erroring-out in that case, simply return empty statistics result and spit a debug message. - Fix a GVirStream leak. - Also distribute GNUmakefile, cfg.mk and maint.mk files. libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries: - libvirt-glib - Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling - libvirt-gconfig - Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects - libvirt-gobject - Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable, for the first few releases, we are *NOT* guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI stable. ABI stability will only be guaranteed once the bulk of the APIs have been fleshed out and proved in non-trivial application usage. We anticipate this will be within the next few months in order to line up with Fedora 17. Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list redhat com development list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.

[Libvirt-announce] Important, switch of server for libvirt.org
by Daniel Veillard 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

I learned yesterday that the lab hosting libvirt.org would have power cut off for the week-end due to electical maintainance. I took the opportunity to switch the server to a new box, and just made the switch to the DNS, it may take up to 8 hours to propagate though. I cut ssh access to the old server 194.199.20.115 and reactivated all services on the new box 176.31.99.103 . For read only access nobody should notice the switch, only commiters should notice that and hopefully they are all sleeping right now :-) Grab me on IRC or by email if you notice somethings which doesn't work right (the search is not setup yet and I need to reaactivate various crons, but nearly everything should just work (TM)) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel(a)veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
