[Libvir] [patch 0/9] Add support for Fedora lokkit's --custom-rules option
by Mark McLoughlin 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hey, When the iptables support was first added to libvirtd, we proposed a change to iptables to allow us to register our rules so that the rules would be automatically reloaded e.g. "service iptables restart" was run or if the user modified their firewall configuration with system-config-firewall. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/227011 That proposal wasn't accepted and so users must currently force libvirt to reload its iptables configuration using SIGHUP in those circumstances. However, since Fedora 8, lokkit has grown a --custom-rules option which we can use to achieve the same effect. The following series of patches does just that. Most of the patches are pretty trivial; the only really significant one is 7/9. (Oh, 7/9 requires Dan's virFileReadAll() patch) Thanks, Mark. --

[Libvir] [PATCH] #include "config.h" needed
by Richard W.M. Jones 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

There is one file missing: #include "config.h" which ought to be included at the beginning of every C file. If missing, it causes problems on Windows -- in particular the C99 keyword 'restrict' won't be recognised and that causes compile errors all over the place. I've also changed a few <config.h> --> "config.h", which I think is more correct because config.h is a local file and should never come from the system include files (CC'd to Jim Meyering -- is this right in your opinion?)

Therefore, I created a XSD file (XML description file). This could be a base for the XML-documentation. Should I post it ?

[Libvir] Documentation on the xml format
by Gerrard Geldenhuis 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hi I am looking for documentation on the xml-format for virtlib. The information on the website is handy but not nearly complete enough. I am looking for documentation that will tell me what options are available to use in the xml and what things will be done automatically by the libraries. If I thus leave out the uuid will it create it automatically? etc. Regards

[Libvir] OCaml bindings 0.4.0.0 released
by Richard W.M. Jones 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

The only significant change here is that these now don't block all threads during a long-running libvirt API call. So you can have a thread to keep the display updated and another making libvirt calls. As with all libvirt programs, each thread that needs to make libvirt calls should have its own connection. http://libvirt.org/ocaml/ Rich. -- Emerging Technologies, Red Hat - http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/ Registered Address: Red Hat UK Ltd, Amberley Place, 107-111 Peascod Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1TE, United Kingdom.

[Libvir] Libvirt version
by Katti, Vadiraj (STSD-Openview) 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, Currently the latest version of libvirt available is 0.3.3. But SLES 10 ships 0.2.0 version of libvirt (not sure what version RHEL 5.1 ships). Any idea when and on what basis SLES decides to ship the upgraded version of libvirt. Thanks, Vadiraj

[Libvir] PATCH: Add dep on 'nc' RPM
by Daniel P. Berrange 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

The libvirt SSH tunnelling support requires 'nc' to operate. The libvirt RPM does not, however, have any dependancy on 'nc'. So by default it is pure luck whether you can use SSH tunnelling after installing the libvirt package & starting the daemon. Even though we don't technically need it on the client end, I figure nc is so small we may as well add a dep to the main libvirt RPM. This ensures nc is present anywhere the daemon is.

[Libvir] PATCH: Compatability with Xen 3.2.0
by Daniel P. Berrange 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

In Xen 3.2.0 the physinfo hypercall was changed to remove the field 'sockets_per_node' and add in 'nr_cpus'. We use the sockets_per_node field in livirt for the virNodeInfo struct :-( This patch re-calculates its value in terms of 'nr_cpus / (nodes*cores*threads)' which is how older Xen used to figure it out.
