[libvirt] Entering freeze for libvirt-5.2.0
by Daniel Veillard 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

I'm a bit late but the Candidate Release 1 is tagged in git and I have pushed the signed tarball and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ This seems to be working in my limited testing, the CI is mostly green https://ci.centos.org/view/libvirt/ except for a few side things, so with a bit of luck that will work well. I may push the RC2 saturday morning, and then if everything looks good we can have the release on Tuesday. In the meantime, give it a try, especially on different platforms or OSes, thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Developers Tools http://developer.redhat.com/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[libvirt] [PATCH] tests: Don't use canonical paths in virstoragetest
by Andrea Bolognani 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

The layout of my home directory is somewhat peculiar: I store all git repositories in ~/src/upstream, but since I spend almost all of my time hacking on libvirt, I also have a convenience symlink ~/src/libvirt -> ~/src/upstream/libvirt that I use to access that specific git repository. The above setup has served me well for years; however, ever since commit ca1471622dd9 dropped our own custom definitions for abs_{,top_}{src,build}dir and started using the ones provided by autotools, virstoragetest has started reliably failing with errors such as 2) Storage backing chain 2 ... Offset 0 Expect [chain member: 0 path:/home/abologna/src/upstream/libvirt/tests/virstoragedata/raw backingStoreRaw: <null> capacity: 0 encryption: 0 relPath:<null> type:1 format:1 protocol:none hostname:<null> ] Actual [chain member: 0 path:/home/abologna/src/libvirt/tests/virstoragedata/raw backingStoreRaw: <null> capacity: 0 encryption: 0 relPath:<null> type:1 format:1 protocol:none hostname:<null> ] ... FAILED Using abolute paths instead of canonical ones in the tests makes the problem go away. Note that all tests that are specifically designed to test path canonicalization via TEST_PATH_CANONICALIZE() were passing even before this patch and are not touched by it.

I will try and summarise in brief; The initial problem was the machine type I had set in various snapshots/VM's had been deprecated and thus rendered the snapshots all unusable after upgrading O/S (that came packaged with newer libvirt/qemu versions.) I thus needed a simple, intuitive way to edit the snapshots to a machine type that was still supported, permanently. snapshot-edit seemed the appropriate tool for doing this, but alas it would not, a way was needed to force it to save the changes. One of my main reasons for using vm/snapshots is testing software install behaviour/compatibility in Windows, so I have a variety of Windows versions, each with snapshots taken with various levels of core 'things' installed (.net framework , C++ redistributables etc.) Thus the snapshots could be many years old. I need to be able to flick between them, so being able to permanently 'fix' them is my goal. The second issue was similarly being able to edit other 'simple' facets of the snapshots e.g. Attached disks, floppies or ISO's - or paths to them. Memory, if testing something that needed more than I ever invisaged way back when. MAC address (we have to register devices on the network via MAC, which expire, and can then render the snapshot unusable if I cannot change the MAC in the snapshot) I hope this makes sense, I have tried to be brief, I can elaborate further if needed. I think being able to edit existing snapshots simply, with once command, would be very beneficial to many people. (I think most people trying to do this would be aware of the risks, especially if the alternative is that the snapshot doesnt work anyway.) Cheers Richard Moore
