[FOR REVIEW ONLY] guestfish: Enable grouping in string lists
by Matthew Booth
This patch lacks updated documentation and tests.
This change adds the ability to group entries in a string list with single
quotes. So the string:
"'foo bar'"
becomes 1 token rather than 2. Consequently single quotes must now be escaped:
"\'"
resolves to a literal single quote.
Incidentally, this change also alters another, probably unintentional behaviour
of the previous implementation, in that tokens are separated by any amount of
whitespace rather than a single whitespace character. I.e.:
"a b"
resolves to:
'a' 'b'
rather than:
'a' '' 'b'
Whitespace is now also defined to include tabs.
parse_string_list can also now fail if it contains an unmatched open quote.

[PATCH] Non-daemon actions indirect through generated code
by Richard W.M. Jones
Matt asked me this morning if we could generate guestfish scripts
automatically from running programs like virt-v2v. Good idea.
This patch however doesn't do this, but it lays the groundwork for it:
In order for us to generate code for any functions which don't go
through the daemon, we need to add an indirection to those calls via
some generated code. This will allow us to add guestfish tracing at
some point in the future.
If you want to debug calls to libguestfs code, then the easiest thing
to do is to use ltrace(1). Sample ltrace output is attached.
Rich.

Perl module versioning
by Richard W.M. Jones
Re:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521674
Perl modules are unversioned, but should carry version numbers
Currently perl RPM deps are unversioned. Apparently if we add a
version number into the perl module(s) then we can fix that, eg:
our $VERSION = "1.0.68";
This would allow Perl users to specify the version either through an
RPM dependency or in code like this:
use Sys::Guestfs 1.0.68;
The file in question (perl/lib/Sys/Guestfs.pm) is generated. Up to
this point I have resisted putting the version number into any
generated files. One reason is that it's unnecessary churn for those
files. Another is that we shouldn't encourage users to depend on
specific versions (instead, they should test for required features).
Another is that the version of Sys::Guestfs doesn't really tell you
what is available in the dynamically-loaded libguestfs.so, nor in the
daemon/appliance.
Worked example:
Your program needs $g->zerofree.
(1) May or may not exist in the Perl library.
(2) May or may not exist in the C API (libguestfs.so).
(3) May or may not exist in the daemon (stubs.c:zerofree_stub)
(4) May or may not have been added to the appliance (/usr/bin/zerofree)
Since so much can potentially go wrong, I think the only realistic
solution is along these lines:
eval { $g->zerofree(...) }; die "zerofree failed: $@" if $@;
Do other languages offer equivalent runtime detection? [OCaml - no]
How do we ensure in RPM/dpkg that a consistent set of packages are
installed? RPM only "knows" version numbers, unless we export lots of
fine-grained dependencies. So far the solution has been to depend on
the C library, like:
Requires: libguestfs >= 1.0.68

[PATCH] internationalisation: Replace autopoint infrastructure with libintl-perl
by Matthew Booth
I noticed that virt-v2v, which is written exclusively in perl, failed to
generate virt-v2v.pot. After much head scratching I also noticed that
libguestfs.pot didn't include any messages from perl sources. Some reading of
libintl-perl shows that a somewhat more complicated xgettext command line is
required, as it doesn't understand Locale::TextDomain syntax by default. After a
little more head scratching, I decided to replace the autopoint generated
infrastructure with the reference infrastructure from libintl-perl because:
1. It works
2. It's a whole lot more transparent
libguestfs still needs some attention in this area. This change may not be
appropriate for libguestfs because it is not exclusively written in perl.
