[libvirt] libvirt maint branches
by Doug Goldstein 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Instead of hijacking another thread I figured I'd start a new one. I tried to push the branch I had made as requested by Jiri, but I don't appear to have access. $ git push origin v1.0.2-maint Counting objects: 30, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (18/18), done. Writing objects: 100% (22/22), 3.44 KiB, done. Total 22 (delta 16), reused 5 (delta 4)remote: *** Creating a branch is not allowed in this repository remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/v1.0.2-maint To ssh://libvirt.org/git/libvirt.git ! [remote rejected] v1.0.2-maint -> v1.0.2-maint (hook declined) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://libvirt.org/git/libvirt.git' How do we want to go about actually creating these branches? I make one everytime I have to backport a fix due to a regression from a previous release. I'll typically only keep them "maintained" until the next official release. I wouldn't consider them stable like what Cole maintains but more like someone ran into an issue and it needed a fix. So there might be other issues in them that go undiscovered or unsolved. I just say this because I don't want to clutter the repo with a lot of useless branches, but again if people think they'd be useful I'm happy to push them. -- Doug Goldstein

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] qemu: Fix deadlocks in autodestroy
by Jiri Denemark 21 Feb '13

After the recent removal of qemu driver locks, implicit driver locks were introduced in places that previously relied on being called from functions that alread had the driver locked. Thus calling anything complex (such as close callbacks) must not be called when the driver is locked...

[libvirt] building libvirt 1.0.2 without quite a few features - undefined reference to `curl_global_init'
by Thierry Parmentelat 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hi there I'm trying to rebuild libvirt 1.0.2 on various targets - mostyl f16 and f18 for now I've started from the specfile that I found in this source rpm here http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-1.0.2-1.fc17.src.rpm in which I've mostly added without clauses : %define _without_storage_disk true %define _without_storage_iscsi true %define _without_storage_fs true %define _without_storage_lvm true %define _without_polkit true %define _without_sasl true %define _without_audit true %define _without_netcf true %define _without_avahi true %define _without_sanlock true %define _without_xen true %define _without_qemu true %define _without_hyperv true %define _without_phyp true %define _without_esx true %define _without_libxl true when building with these settings though, I'm facing this undefined error below; this happened on both f16 and f18 I take it there must be something slightly broken in the specfile logic, if anybody had a hint on how to address this is would be much appreciated For one thing I don't know how to get the real sentence behind this 'CCLD' thing, so I could check if libcurl (which I believe should provide that symbol) is mentioned or not.. CCLD libvirtd /longbuildroot/BUILD/libvirt-1.0.2/src/.libs/libvirt.so: undefined reference to `curl_global_init' many thanks in anticipation -- Thierry
