Following Dan advice, I decided to not wait for more patches and push the current git head as the release.

[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: remove embedded space from pool-list --details output
by Justin Clift 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

This removes the embedded space in the output of the pool-list --details command, as per the comments from Richard W. M. Jones.

[libvirt] The (delayed) 0.8.2 release
by Daniel Veillard 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Clearly I failed to meet the deadline I suggested 2 weeks ago for the release of 0.8.2, there have been a awful lot of patches sent for review since then, I had other stuff to chase and didn't managed to keep uptodate with the flow of mail patches and reviews. But hopefully this should be a bit better now, we really need this release soon, too much stuff has accumulated in git, so I'm suggesting to try to release end of next week, but keep the gate for patches open up to Tuesday as most people in the US are likely to be out either today or on the 5th. One thing we should try to get is to provide the qemu command-line and monitor commands hacking/debug APIs to ease the work of the QEmu developpers and early features adopters. Thanks to Erik for providing another batch of reviews, the key point being IMHO the include/libvirt/libvirt-qemu.h file since that's where that API will sit.

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] vbox: Let configure detect/set the XPCOMC directory
by Matthias Bolte 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

This allows the user to give an explicit path to configure ./configure --with-vbox=/path/to/virtualbox instead of having the VirtualBox driver probe a set of possible paths at runtime.

[libvirt] [PATCHv2 2/2] virsh: add new --details option to vol-list
by Justin Clift 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

This patch adds a new --details option to the virsh vol-list command, making its output more useful to people who use virsh for significant lengths of time. Addresses BZ # 605543 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605543 --- This new version of the patch uses the existing virsh output format when the --details option isn't given, maintaining backwards compatibility for existing scripts. When the new --details option is given though, the additional info is displayed and all columns are sized to their widest string. Output from the new option (hopefully this doesn't wrap): virsh # vol-list default Name Path ----------------------------------------- CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso virsh # vol-list default --details Name Path Type Capacity Allocation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso file 4.09 GB 4.10 GB CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso file 412.33 MB 412.74 MB virsh # vol-list tmp Name Path ----------------------------------------- disk1.img /tmp/images/disk1.img disk2.img /tmp/images/disk2.img disk3.img /tmp/images/disk3.img disk4.img /tmp/images/disk4.img disk5.img /tmp/images/disk5.img disk6.img /tmp/images/disk6.img virsh # vol-list tmp --details Name Path Type Capacity Allocation ------------------------------------------------------------ disk1.img /tmp/images/disk1.img file 20.00 GB 136.00 KB disk2.img /tmp/images/disk2.img file 20.00 GB 136.00 KB disk3.img /tmp/images/disk3.img file 20.00 GB 136.00 KB disk4.img /tmp/images/disk4.img file 20.00 GB 136.00 KB disk5.img /tmp/images/disk5.img file 20.00 GB 136.00 KB disk6.img /tmp/images/disk6.img file 20.00 GB 136.00 KB virsh # Much nicer to use when pools have a bunch of luns in them. :) tools/virsh.c | 225 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ tools/virsh.pod | 4 +- 2 files changed, 203 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/virsh.c b/tools/virsh.c index 7261d19..2a9c353 100644 --- a/tools/virsh.c +++ b/tools/virsh.c @@ -6075,67 +6075,242 @@ static const vshCmdInfo info_vol_list[] = { static const vshCmdOptDef opts_vol_list[] = { {"pool", VSH_OT_DATA, VSH_OFLAG_REQ, N_("pool name or uuid")}, + {"details", VSH_OT_BOOL, 0, N_("display extended details for volumes")}, {NULL, 0, 0, NULL} };

[libvirt] [PATCH v2 REPOST 0/8]: Add arbitrary qemu command-line and monitor commands
by Chris Lalancette 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

As we discussed previously, here is the patch series to add the ability to specify arbitrary qemu command-line parameters and environment variables, and also give arbitrary monitor commands to a guest. Because these extra arguments have a good shot at confusing libvirt, the use of them is not supported, but left available for advanced users and developers. They are also in a separate library and have a separate on-the-wire protocol. There is one bug left that I have not yet been able to fix. Because of the complicated way that virsh parses command-line arguments, it is not possible to pass through spaces and quotes when using the qemu-monitor-command. Unfortunately, the qemu monitor commands (and in particular when using QMP) depend heavily on quoting and spacing, so using virsh to send through command-lines is difficult. I'll have to think about how to better resolve this issue, but it should not hold up the rest of the series. I will point out one particular patch that could use some careful review, namely PATCH 6/8. In there, I change the remote_message_hdr to use an unsigned proc instead of a remote_procedure proc. Now, as far as I can tell the two sizes should be the same, so the wire protocol should be the same. Indeed, testing seems to show that older virsh can talk just fine to a libvirtd with this patch applied. However, the regenerated remote_protocol.c file for parsing remote_message_header has some strange bits in it that I don't quite understand. I'm hoping someone else can look at it and confirm that it is OK. Thanks to Dan Berrange and Eric Blake for their reviews already, and to DV for the Relax NG schema changes. Changes since v1 are listed in the individual patches.

[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: ruby-libvirt bindings 0.2.0
by Chris Lalancette 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hello all, I'm pleased to announce the release of 0.2.0 of the ruby-libvirt bindings. This release has a number of new features: - Updated Storage class, implementing pool.active?, pool.persistent?, pool.vol_create_xml_from - Updated Connect class, implementing conn.node_free_memory, conn.node_cells_free_memory, conn.node_get_security_model, conn.encrypted?, conn.libversion, and conn.secure? - Updated Network class, implementing network.active? and network.persistent? - Update Domain class, implementing conn.domain_xml_from_native, conn.domain_xml_to_native, dom.migrate_to_uri, dom.migrate_set_max_downtime, dom.managed_save, dom.has_managed_save?, dom.managed_save_remove, dom.security_label, dom.block_stats, dom.memory_stats, dom.blockinfo, dom.block_peek, dom.memory_peek, dom.active?, dom.persistent?, dom.snapshot_create_xml, dom.num_of_snapshots, dom.list_snapshots, dom.lookup_snapshot_by_name, dom.has_current_snapshot?, dom.revert_to_snapshot, dom.current_snapshot, snapshot.xml_desc, snapshot.delete, dom.job_info, and dom.abort_job - Implementation of the NodeDevice class - Implementation of the Secret class - Implementation of the NWFilter class - Implementation of the Interface class - Conversion of the development tree to git - New maintainer (me). David Lutterkort has agreed to transfer maintainership of the bindings over to me, since he is not actively involved in their development anymore. With the above list, almost all of the APIs up to and including libvirt 0.8.1 are covered. There are a few that I have not yet had time to implement; you can look at the list of FIXMEs in the source code to find them. I've uploaded new tarballs and source RPMs to: http://libvirt.org/ruby/download/ The new git repo is here: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=ruby-libvirt.git;a=summary The documentation for the new API's are here: http://libvirt.org/ruby/api/index.html If you have time, and are interested in the bindings, please give these new ones a whirl and let me know if they work for you. As usual, if you have any questions, problems, patches, or bug reports, feel free to email the libvirt development list (and CC me) so that I can take a look at them. -- Chris Lalancette
