[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Sahara Desert" release 0.5.0

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 :|

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.1.1
by Daniel Veillard 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

As planned I tagged the release candidate 1 for libvirt 1.1.1 in git, I also made tarball and rpms available on the ftp: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ There is still some patches not completely ready after initial review it is probably safe to push the simplest ones, but not big sets now. Bug fixes are okay until final release obviously ! The release seems to work fine in my local testing (my fedora 19 crashed when shutdown a window guest, but that sounds like a kernel problem). Goal is to release next tuesday, please give it a try, and report problems :-) thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-sandbox "Owami Desert" release 0.2.1
by Daniel P. Berrange 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.2.1, 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 Changed in this release: - Requires libvirt-glib >= 0.1.7 - ABI change: Removed GVirSandboxCleaner class - Don't add link in /var/log/journal for image based containers - Don't hold open libvirt connection when displaying service sandbox consoles - Record container UUID in config for service sandboxes - Add missing RPMs deps - Allow custom mounts to be specified to virt-sandbox-service - Fix misc bugs in sandbox creation/deletion - Use 'guest bind' for configuring image based service sandboxes - Allow NIC MAC address to be chosen - Include systemd-initctl.socket in service sandboxes by default to allow libvirt initiated graceful shutdown 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] [ANNOUNCE] libvirt-glib 0.1.7 release
by Daniel P. Berrange 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.1.7, 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) Changes in this release: - Fix memory leaks in domain memory setters - Add APIs for configuration sdl/rdp/desktop graphics modes - Add getter APIs for domain channel devices - Add getter APIs for storage pools - Add API for getting/setting virt type - Add getter APIs for storage pool schema - Add base framework for i18n of error messages - Fix annotation of gvir_init_object - Add getter/setter APIs for disk driver format - Add APIs for domain snapshot schema - Add APIs to access domain chardev source - Add API to access domain device aliases 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 yet guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI permanently stable. As of the 0.0.8 release, we have tentatively frozen the API/ABI with the intent of being longterm stable hereafter, but there is still a small chance we might find flaws requiring an API/ABI change. The likelihood of this is low, however, and we will strive to 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.

It should be available on the server along with the rpms: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ The biggest feature leading to the bump in medium release number is the adition of ACL for individual access control of each API, until now there was only two classes of access read-only and read write, this feature is a big enhancement we have been thinking about for years!

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.1.0
by Daniel Veillard 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Since Dan pushed the fine grained ACL control patches, this release really ought to be 1.1.0, I just tagged it in git and pushed tarball and rpms to the server: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I know that Laine has still a patch set to push, now it seems they all got ACK'ed so better get them in for rc2, which I will probably push on thursday. Then if everything looks fine we can have the final release on Monday. I gave it my usual user test, on Fedora, seems to work fine from my limited perspective. I just had to push the attached patch as a build breaker otherwise make rpm would wail because the polkit API definitions would not be packaged. Probably worth a double checking by Dan for correctness. Thanks in advance for feedback on the candidate release, 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/
