[PATCH v2] launch: add support for autodetection of appliance image format
by Pavel Butsykin
This feature allows you to use different image formats for the fixed
appliance. The raw format is used by default.

1.39 proposal: Let's split up the libguestfs git repo and tarballs
by Richard W.M. Jones
My contention is that the libguestfs git repository is too large and
unwieldy. There are too many separate, unrelated projects and as a
result of that the source has too many dependencies and takes too long
to build and test.
The project divides (sort of) naturally into layers -- the library,
the bindings, the various virt tools -- and could be split along those
lines into separate projects which can then be released and evolve at
their own pace.
My suggested split would be something like this:
* libguestfs: The library, daemon and appliance. That would include
the following directories in a single project:
appliance
bash
contrib
daemon
docs
examples
gnulib
lib
logo
test-tool
tmp
utils
website
* 1 project for each language binding:
csharp
erlang
gobject
golang
haskell
java
lua
ocaml
php
perl
python
ruby
* virt-customize and related tools, we'd probably call this subproject
"virt-builder". It would include virt-builder, virt-customize and
virt-sysprep, since they share a lot of common code.
* 1 project for each of the following items:
small tools written in C
(virt-cat, virt-filesystems, virt-log, virt-ls, virt-tail,
virt-diff, virt-edit, virt-format, guestmount, virt-inspector,
virt-make-fs, virt-rescue)
guestfish
virt-alignment-scan and virt-df
virt-dib
virt-get-kernel
virt-resize
virt-sparsify
virt-v2v and virt-p2v
virt-win-reg
* I'd be inclined to drop the legacy Perl tools virt-tar,
virt-list-filesystems, virt-list-partitions unless someone
especially wished to step forward to maintain them.
* common code and generator: Off to the side we'd somehow need to
package up the common code and the generator for use by all of the
above projects. It wouldn't be a separate project for downstream
packagers, but instead the code would be included (ie. duplicated)
in tarballs and upstream available as a side git repo that you'd
need to include when building (git submodule?). This is somewhat
unspecified.
M4, PO, and tests would be split between the projects as appropriate.
My proposal would be to do this incrementally, rather than all at
once, moving the easier things out first.
Thoughts?
Rich.

OpenStack output workflow
by Fabien Dupont
Hi,
There has been discussion about the OpenStack output and Richard asked for
a public thread on this list, so here it is.
For v2v from VMware to RHV, there is a Python script that does some extra
steps to create the virtual machine after the disks have been converted. We
want to have the same behavior for OpenStack, i.e. have virt-v2v create the
instance once the volumes have been created.
For that, I've written a Python script [1] that takes a JSON file (sample
here [2]) as input. I expect this JSON input to be generated by virt-v2v
openstack output module, from the command line options and the volumes ids
generated during conversion.
Here are the options I think we should have for the OpenStack output:
-o openstack
-oo os-auth-url='http://controller.example.com:5000/v3'
-oo os-user-domain-name='Default'
-oo os-project-name='v2v-project'
-oo os-username='admin'
-oo os-password='secret'
-oo server-id='01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef'
-oo destination_project_id='01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef'
-oo volume_type_id='01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef'
-oo flavor_id='01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef'
-oo
security_groups_ids='01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef,01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef'
--mac 01:23:45:67:89:ab:network:01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef
You'll see that the --mac option is not specific to OpenStack, but it shows
how it would look like with a network id. And it should be passed to the
post-conversion script.
The translation to JSON is pretty straight forward and should not be
difficult. We simply have to agree on the JSON keys we expect and the where
the new -oo keys go. Also, the script is quite simple and relies on
OpenStack Python SDK, which is also used by the OpenStack CLI, so no
additional dependencies are required and it should be easy to maintain.
