Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] esx: Simplify VI (vSphere) API and VMware product version handling

Store version numbers in this format version = 1000000 * major + 1000 * minor + micro produced by virParseVersionString instead of dedicated enums. Split the complex esxVI_ProductVersion enum into a simpler esxVI_ProductLine enum and a product version number. Relax API and product version number checks to accept everything that is equal or greater than the supported minimum version. VMware ESX went through 3 major versions and the vSphere API always stayed backward compatible. This commit assumes that this will also be true for future VMware ESX versions. Also reword error messages in esxConnectTo* to say what was expected and what was found instead (suggested by Richard W.M. Jones). --- v2: - Fix copy&paste accident that replaced hostname with conn->uri->server in esxConnectToVCenter - Fix and improve commit message src/esx/esx_driver.c | 59 +++++--------- src/esx/esx_vi.c | 215 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- src/esx/esx_vi.h | 55 +++---------- 3 files changed, 140 insertions(+), 189 deletions(-)
