[libvirt] [PATCH libvirt-python 00/14] Split the python binding out
From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com>
This patch series is a followup to
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00413.html
to split the python binding out into a separate GIT repository.
These patches do not apply to current GIT. Instead you have to first
create a new git repo, initializing based on the history of the
python/ subdirectory.
Assuming your current checkout of libvirt is in a directory 'libvirt',
then
$ git clone libvirt libvirt-python
$ cd libvirt-python
$ git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter python --tag-name-filter cat -- --all
$ git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/original/ | xargs -n 1 git
update-ref -d
$ git reflog expire --expire=now --all
$ git gc --prune=now
You should now have a repo that's a couple of MB in size, showing only the
files from python/ dir, in the root.
The tags have been re-written to show content from the python/ directory.
All the GPG signatures from tags are removed, since they are invalid
after rewriting history. This was previously agreed to be the right
way to handle this.
Anyway, with the repo as above, you can now apply the 17 patches from
this series onto that
The build system uses python distutils instead of autoconf/automake.
It still uses the code generator as before though, pulling the XML
files from /usr/share/libvirt/api (or whever you installed libvirt,
as indicated by pkg-config)
I created a simple autobuild.sh to do an end-to-end build, including
the RPM generation. Or you can just do
python setup.py build ('make' equiv)
python setup.py test ('make check' equiv)
python setup.py rpm ('make rpm' equiv)
python setup.py clean ('make clean' equiv)
Historically libvirt python only worked with the exact matching libvirt
binary. Before releasing this, I think we need to make it possible to
compile libvirt-python against any recent-ish libvirt version.
This shouldn't actually be too hard - the generator will take care of
most of it. All we need do is fix up the -override.c files to make
use of version checks to hide APIs not present in older libvirt.
The RPM is designed to be drop in compatible/identical to/with the
existing libvirt-python RPM, so users should notice no difference
in any way when upgrading.
If you don't want to try the filter-branch steps yourself, you can
clone this complete series + repo from
http://fedorapeople.org/cgit/berrange/public_git/libvirt-python-v6.git/
(May take upto 1 hour to appear from the time I sent this message)
Notice how the history is intact right back to the first commit of the
python bindings.
