Re: [libvirt] domain.rng updated ?

?Hi,
I'm working on C# bindings, my goal is to expose xml descriptions (domain, node,
storage and so on...) as real C# objects, for this, I'm studying the rng files
provided in /docs/schemas/ directory of the sources. I'm currently working on
domain.rng.
I don't know if the domain.rng file is up to date because, for example, the disk
device definition in the rng doesn't speak about the "address" node that a
virhs dumpxml show :
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/image/Ubuntu-10.10.img'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0'
unit='0'/>
</disk>
Actually, it does permit the <address> sub-element:
<define name="disk"> defines the <element name="disk">,
then a <choice>
that selects the <group> with <attribute name="type"> of file, as
well
as an <interleave> that includes <ref name="diskspec"/>.
<define name="diskspec"> includes an <optional> <ref
name="address"/>,
which covers the <address> you were asking about.
Is the domain.rng up to date or should I use the libvirt.org XML format page only ?
The libvirt.org XML format page (generated from
docs/formatdomain.html.in) is supposed to match domain.rng; if they
don't, that's a documentation bug and should be fixed.
Meanwhile, domain.rng is a subset of actual XML parsed by the code;
there are some additional elements, such as <alias>, that can only be
present in a live xml dump but are ignored for defining or creating a
domain. The rule of thumb is that if 'virsh dumpxml --inactive' can
produce an element, then domain.rng should permit it and
formatdomain.html.in should document it.
