[PATCH 0/1] vmx: Fix <genid/> mapping
Apparently, parsing vmx.genid is not as easy as I thought. Anyway, it
was brought up in a private thread that libvirt doesn't report correct
UUIDs. For instance for the following input:
vm.genid = "-8536691797830587195"
vm.genidX = "-1723453263670062919"
Libvirt would report:
<genid>8987940a-0951-2cc5-e815-10634ff550b9</genid>
while virt-v2v would report:
<genid>09512cc5-940a-8987-b950-f54f631015e8</genid>
Another example:
vm.genid = "-6284418052148993891"
vm.genidX = "-649955058627554545"
Libvirt:
<genid>a8c94313-ed9b-609d-f6fa-e5515a89530f</genid>
virt-v2v:
<genid>ed9b609d-4313-a8c9-0f53-895a51e5faf6</genid>
To test my patch I modified tests/vmx2xmldata/esx-in-the-wild-10.vmx
(because it already contains vmx.genid, but any file can be modified
really), and then ran:
libvirt.git/_build/tests $ VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 VIR_TEST_RANGE=58 ./vmx2xmltest
Mind you, the fix is almost direct rewrite of virt-v2v's algorithm,
except it's optimized for C and not OCaml :-) You can find various
attempts/versions of that on my gitlab:

I'm sending only the last one because that looks the best IMO.
