[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: virt-tools.org website

I'm pleased to announce the virt-tools.org website: http://virt-tools.org/ The "virt tools" are an informal group of system administration tools for small-scale Linux virtualization, including virt-manager, virt-install, libvirt, virt-v2v, libguestfs, virt-df, virt-top and more. The virt tools website is an umbrella project to provide documentation, tutorials, online help and roadmaps for these tools. The website does *not* replace the existing upstream websites, but hopes to complement those sites by providing documentation that crosses tool boundaries and help to get started. The site is open source and we welcome your contributions. Get the git repository here: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=virt-tools.git and send patches to the mailing list: http://virt-tools.org/contact/#mailing-list Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v

Good idea :-) , a couple of small issues though: May I suggest to run it through the W3C Link Checker :-) ? http://validator.w3.org/checklink/checklink?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fvirt-tools.org%2F&hide_type=all&depth=&check=Check#results1 there is 2 broken links and it' would be best to point to http://www.redhat.com/ I ran it because the second link I tried, to the learning page was 404 http://virt-tools.org/learning/install-with-command-line/ is that an error in the URL or is the content missing ATM ? I'm also a bit surprized, the web site advertize the content as XHTML 1.0 Strict in the DTD (it's shipping as text/html, but that's classic) but the content is not following the DTD, maybe there are some tricks needed to get Template Toolkit to generate valid documents, maybe some constructs should be avoided... ------------------------------------------------------------- GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: virt-tools.org HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 13:59:36 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Last-Modified: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 13:57:46 GMT ETag: "7a9199-111e-4927ffa60ea80" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 4382 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> [...] ------------------------ http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fvirt-tools.org%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 complains a bit. On linux with libxml2 and xhtml1-dtds installed you can use xmllint --valid --noout page.html to find out if the documents are valid, it's more convenient (and faster) than the validator.

It's better than I thought ...
there is 2 broken links and it' would be best to point to http://www.redhat.com/
I ran it because the second link I tried, to the learning page was 404
http://virt-tools.org/learning/install-with-command-line/
is that an error in the URL or is the content missing ATM ?
Yes, there's still content missing, including that one.
I'm also a bit surprized, the web site advertize the content as XHTML 1.0 Strict in the DTD (it's shipping as text/html, but that's classic) but the content is not following the DTD, maybe there are some tricks needed to get Template Toolkit to generate valid documents, maybe some constructs should be avoided...
TT doesn't care about HTML. It's just a text processor. I declared it as Strict to turn off quirksmode in IE (probably old IE6). The HTML itself is written by hand and isn't very strict ... Having said that, we don't really care much about IE.

Ah, okay !

Ah, okay, then the simplest is to do validation checking as a postprocessing. Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
