So as planned I tagged it in git, development is open again, I signed tarballs and rpms, they are at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also made a libvirt-python-1.2.17 release which you can find at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ this is a rather large release, even if the Admin APIs didn't fully made it there is 375 commits, lot of refactoring and code hardening, and a fair amount of pure bug fixes: Features: - numerous improvements and refactoring of the parallels driver(Maxim Nestratov) - hardening of vcpu code (Peter Krempa) - hardening of migration code (Jiri Denemark) Documentation: - Fix typo incomaptible -> incompatible (Andrea Bolognani) - docs: Clarification for when allowed to use 'lun' for "volume" (John Ferlan) - docs: document when pcie-root/dmi-to-pci-bridge support was added (Laine Stump) - docs: Fix trivial copy-paste error (Martin Kletzander) - docs: Properly mark acl.html dependencies (Michal Privoznik) - docs: Correct typos in scsi hostdev and address elements (Eric Farman) - docs: Fix XML schema handling of LUN address in hostdev tag (Eric Farman) - virNetSocketRemoveIOCallback: Be explicit about unref (Michal Privoznik) - man: clarify usage of virsh blockcopy with --xml (Ján Tomko) - docs: Clarify that attribute name is not used for vhostuser (Maxime Leroy) - maint: document use of zanata for translations (Eric Blake) - qemu: Capitalize "storage" in qemuDomainAttachUSBMassStorageDevice() (Andrea Bolognani) - docs: php: remove reference to Red Hat (Ján Tomko) - monitor: Move documentation for qemuMonitorGetBalloonInfo (Peter Krempa) Portability: - admin: Fix mingw build by reordering includes (Martin Kletzander) - util: process: fix build on FreeBSD (Roman Bogorodskiy) - util: Properly return error from virGetUserID and virGetGroupID stubs (Peter Krempa) - build: silence ar warnings on rawhide (Eric Blake) - util: process: @pid in virProcessSetAffinity's BSD impl is not unused (Peter Krempa) - libxl: load on FreeBSD (Roman Bogorodskiy) Bug Fixes: - phyp: Resolve Coverity FORWARD_NULL (John Ferlan) - util: Resolve Coverity FORWARD_NULL (John Ferlan) - util: Resolve Coverity FORWARD_NULL (John Ferlan) - util: Resolve Coverity FORWARD_NULL (John Ferlan) - lxc: Don't pass a local variable address randomly (Michal Privoznik) - qemu: Resolve Coverity DEADCODE (John Ferlan) - qemu: Audit memory size with memory hotplug operations (Peter Krempa) - qemu: Avoid using ".(null)" in UNIX socket path (Jiri Denemark) - qemu: agent: Don't automatically disable CPU0 via guest agent (Peter Krempa) - qemu: End job even if exiting monitor after OpenGraphics(FD) fails (Luyao Huang) - qemu: properly free addresses on non-serial chardev unplug (Ján Tomko) - qemu: fix address allocation on chardev attach (Luyao Huang) - libxl: Set def->vcpus after successfully modifying live vcpu count (Jim Fehlig) - libxl: don't remove persistent domain on start failure (Jim Fehlig) - libxl: don't overwrite domain state from statedir config (Jim Fehlig) - qemu: Add missing on_crash lifecycle type (John Ferlan) - Use the correct symbol for 'onCrash' (John Ferlan) - mpath: Don't allow more than one mpath pool at a time (John Ferlan) - mpath: Update path in CheckPool function (John Ferlan) - conf: Validate disk lun using correct types (John Ferlan) - Storage: Introduce shadow vol for refresh while the main vol builds.

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Dashti Margo" release 0.6.0
by Daniel P. Berrange 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.6.0, 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 contains a mixture of new features and bug fixes - API/ABI in-compatible change, soname increased - Prevent use of virt-sandbox-service as non-root upfront - Fix misc memory leaks - Block SIGHUP from the dhclient binary to prevent accidental death if the controlling terminal is closed & reopened - Add support for re-creating libvirt XML from sandbox config to facilitate upgrades - Switch to standard gobject introspection autoconf macros - Add ability to set filters on network interfaces - Search /usr/lib instead of /lib for systemd unit files, as the former is the canonical location even when / and /usr are merged - Only set SELinux labels on hosts that support SELinux - Explicitly link to selinux, instead of relying on indirect linkage - Update compiler warning flags - Fix misc docs comments - Don't assume use of SELinux in virt-sandbox-service - Fix path checks for SUSUE in virt-sandbox-service - Add support for AppArmour profiles - Mount /var after other FS to ensure host image is available - Ensure state/config dirs can be accessed when QEMU is running non-root for qemu:///system - Fix mounting of host images in QEMU sandboxes - Mount images as ext4 instead of ext3 - Allow use of non-raw disk images as filesystem mounts - Check if required static libs are available at configure time to prevent silent fallback to shared linking - Require libvirt-glib >= 0.2.1 - Add support for loading lzma and gzip compressed kmods - Check for support libvirt URIs when starting guests to ensure clear error message upfront - Add LIBVIRT_SANDBOX_INIT_DEBUG env variable to allow debugging of kernel boot messages and sandbox init process setup - Add support for exposing block devices to sandboxes with a predictable name under /dev/disk/by-tag/TAGNAME - Use devtmpfs instead of tmpfs for auto-populating /dev in QEMU sandboxes - Allow setup of sandbox with custom root filesystem instead of inheriting from host's root. - Allow execution of apps from non-matched ld-linux.so / libc.so, eg executing F19 binaries on F22 host - Use passthrough mode for all QEMU filesystems 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-1.2.17
by Daniel Veillard 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Following discussions on Friday, I applied the patches to deactivate the subset of Admin APIs and revert from 1.3.0 to 1.2.17. I then tagged in git and pushed signed tarballs and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/pub/libvirt/ I didn't run my usual tests on that one, my infra is in flux, so even more reasons for people to give it a try :-) I'm likely to make a candidate release 2 on Tuesday and if all goes well we can push 1.2.17 on Thursday, 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/

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib version 0.2.1 released
by Daniel P. Berrange 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.2.1, 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) Changes in this release: - Fix libtoolize detection in autogen.sh - Allow storage volume format compatibility level to be set - Add pre-condition checks to more public API entry points - Don't try to return a value from void functions - Add API for controlling storage pool autostart flag - Add API for filesystem image format - Add loop, nbd and ploop filesystem types - Fix setting of driver type when called more than once 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 forever, with libvirt-glib we are not currently guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are permanently API/ABI stable. That said we do not expect to break the API/ABI for the forseeable future and will always strive avoid it. Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list(a)redhat.com development list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt 1.2.16
by Daniel Veillard 29 May '15

29 May '15

I'm one day late but I have tagged the release candidate 1 in git and pushed signed tarballs and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ we have a bit less than 160 commits so far since 1.2.15. I tried it with my usual limited testing and it looks fine, https://ci.centos.org/ seems fine when it comes to libvirt, but please give it a try so we can get potential bugs or portability issues out. I will probably make an rc2 on Friday and push the final release next Monday or Tuesday, thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.15
by Daniel Veillard 02 May '15

02 May '15

I'm a little late, but I have now tagged candidate release 1 for 1.2.15 in git and pushed signed tarballs and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ this seems to work for me in my limited testing, but please give it a try, especially on less common platforms. The https://ci.centos.org/ seems to indicate issues on building the Perl tests as well as virt-manager regression testing, can someone dig into what is happening there ? I will likely push an rc2 on Thursday, and then the final release over the week-end, thanks!
