I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.5.0, is now available for download ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/sandbox/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) The libvirt-sandbox package provides an API layer on top of libvirt-gobject which facilitates the cration of application sandboxes using virtualization technology. An application sandbox is a virtual machine or container that runs a single application binary, directly from the host OS filesystem. In other words there is no separate guest operating system install to build or manager. At this point in time libvirt-sandbox can create sandboxes using either LXC or KVM, and should in theory be extendable to any libvirt driver. This release focused on exclusively on bugfixing Changed in this release: - Fix path to systemd binary (prefers dir /lib/systemd not /bin) - Remove obsolete commands from virt-sandbox-service man page - Fix delete of running service container - Allow use of custom root dirs with 'virt-sandbox --root DIR' - Fix 'upgrade' command for virt-sandbox-service generic services - Fix logrotate script to use virsh for listing sandboxed services - Add 'inherit' option for virt-sandbox '-s' security context option, to auto-copy calling process' context - Remove non-existant '-S' option froom virt-sandbox-service man page - Fix line break formatting of man page - Mention LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI in virt-sandbox-service man page - Check some return values in libvirt-sandbox-init-qemu - Remove unused variables - Fix crash with partially specified mount option string - Add man page docs for 'ram' mount type - Avoid close of un-opened file descriptor - Fix leak of file handles in init helpers - Log a message if sandbox cleanup fails - Cope with domain being missing when deleting container - Improve stack trace diagnostics in virt-sandbox-service - Fix virt-sandbox-service content copying code when faced with non-regular files. - Improve error reporting if kernel does not exist - Allow kernel version/path/kmod to be set with virt-sandbox - Don't overmount '/root' in QEMU sandboxes by default - Fix nosuid / nodev mount options for tmpfs - Force 9p2000.u protocol version to avoid QEMU bugs - Fix cleanup when failing to start interactive sandbox - Create copy of kernel from /boot to allow relabelling - Bulk re-indent of code - Avoid crash when gateway is missing in network options - Fix symlink target created in multi-user.target.wants - Add '-p PATH' option for virt-sandbox-service clone/delete to match 'create' command option. - Only allow 'lxc:///' URIs with virt-sandbox-service until further notice - Rollback state if cloning a service sandbox fails - Add more kernel modules instead of assuming they are all builtins - Don't complain if some kmods are missing, as they may be builtins - Allow --mount to be repeated with virt-sandbox-service Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
