Hi all, When i wanna install libvirt, i happened to following errors. $./autogen.sh I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line. running bootstrap... ./bootstrap: Bootstrapping from checked-out http://libvirt.org sources... ./bootstrap: consider installing git-merge-changelog from gnulib ./bootstrap: getting gnulib files... Submodule 'gnulib' () registered for path '.gnulib' fatal: Needed a single revision Unable to find current revision in submodule path '.gnulib' Failed to bootstrap, please investigate. Could anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance ;-) -- Thanks Harry Wei

[libvirt] Add NUMA memory info to libvirt
by Dusty Mabe 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi guys, Could someone possibly look at my proposed patch (http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-February/msg00776.html)? It is a small code change that gives us some important information about how much memory each NUMA node of a server has. It is strictly for informational purposes and should not affect any functional aspect of libvirt. Thanks, Dusty Mabe

[libvirt] [PATCH] rng: restrict passthrough names to known-good files
by Eric Blake 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng. It is always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is to remove support for something once released, so this patch restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support /dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd passthrough where it won't work. [1]https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-03/threads.html#00023 * src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainRNGDefParseXML): Only allow /dev/random and /dev/hwrng. * docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng: Flag invalid files. * docs/formatdomain.html.in (elementsRng): Document this. * tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-virtio-rng-random.args: Update test to match. * tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-virtio-rng-random.xml: Likewise. --- This needs to be acked before libvirt 1.0.3; otherwise we are stuck supporting arbitrary name passthrough. docs/formatdomain.html.in | 3 ++- docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 5 ++++- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 7 +++++++ tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-virtio-rng-random.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-virtio-rng-random.xml | 2 +- 5 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/formatdomain.html.in b/docs/formatdomain.html.in index 1835b39..4cafc92 100644 --- a/docs/formatdomain.html.in +++ b/docs/formatdomain.html.in @@ -4310,7 +4310,8 @@ qemu-kvm -net nic,model=? /dev/null <code>model</code> attribute.

[libvirt] Minor fixes to ocaml bindings for storage pools/volumes
by David Scott 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

These patches fix a couple of minor issues I encountered while trying to manipulate storage pools and volumes from an OCaml program. If you're interested, the OCaml client code is a simple adapter to allow an XCP host to use libvirt (for storage only atm, more later). The client code (so far) is here: https://github.com/djs55/xcp-libvirt-storage/blob/master/server.ml Cheers, Dave Scott http://dave.recoil.org/

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] Resolve some recently uncovered Coverity warnings
by John Ferlan 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Perhaps due to other related changes in the code paths, my daily Coverity scan uncovered a few new issues last week. It didn't seem any of the issues found were critical path, so I waited for the 1.0.3 before posting. I am running Coverity on a daily basis and trying to fine tune the "blame" algorithm. Unfortunately when changes are made in sometimes related code paths it allows Coverity to scan further thus sometimes uncovering some paths that hadn't been covered before or had been blocked by other issues Coverity uncovered in the path. I have a dialogue going with someone at Coverity regarding these types of discoveries.

[libvirt] question about ading spice and vnc hardware
by yue 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

i create VM through virt-manage. add hardware--> graphic--(spice,vnc server) i do not understand the word 'server' means, In my opinion , spice or vnc server is on KVM-HOST side, vnc,spice client connect to KVM-HOST. there are nothing to do with guestOS. why virt-manage need me to add "server"? thanks
