[PATCH] Fix build of po-docs during initial build
by Matthew Booth 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Building po-docs currently fails because po-docs/ja/Makefile.am requires files which are generated by po-docs/Makefile.am, which the latter does not create by default. This patch doesn't fix the dependencies properly, but fixes the problem by ensuring that po-docs/Makefile.am will build all LINGUA deps by default. --- po-docs/Makefile.am | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

[PATCH] Bootstrap ocaml/.depend more thoroughly
by Matthew Booth 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Although I haven't experienced a specific problem with bootstrapping an empty .depend file, this commit bootstraps it properly using ocamldep. This may or may not solve any real problem, but it's quite simple and more obviously correct. --- bootstrap | 2 +- ocaml/Makefile.am | 10 +++------- ocaml/Makefile.depend | 6 ++++++ 3 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 ocaml/Makefile.depend

[PATCH 0/4] Deprecate and remove use of the Perl inspection API
by Richard W.M. Jones 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642930 These patches remove all use of the Perl inspection API (although leaving the code, since it is used by virt-v2v). The tools have been modified so they use the core inspection API. Virt inspector has been basically rewritten to remove excess cruft and to only use the core API (see the final commit for more details).

[PATCH 1/4] New internal function guestfs___print_timestamped_argv
by Matthew Booth 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

This function generalises the existing print_cmdline used to output the qemu command line to output any given command line, and exports it to other modules. It also adds a timestamp to the old print_cmdline output for consistency with guestfs___print_timestamped_message. --- src/guestfs-internal.h | 1 + src/launch.c | 48 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ 2 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-)

[PATCH 1/2] Add -u and -g options to febootstrap-supermin-helper
by Matthew Booth 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Bash automatically resets euid to uid when it executes. This means that the effective user id of a program at the point it calls febootstrap-supermin-helper will be lost if any part of execution chain involved bash. This in turn can result in: * the generation of an incorrect checksum, which contains the uid. * the generation of supermin files with a mixture of owners The -u and -g options allow the caller to pass in an explicit user and group to run as. febootstrap-supermin-helper will set(u|g)id as appropriate. --- helper/febootstrap-supermin-helper.pod | 13 ++++ helper/main.c | 116 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- lib/.gitignore | 10 +++ m4/.gitignore | 4 + m4/gnulib-cache.m4 | 3 +- 5 files changed, 142 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)

[PATCH 0/2] Use guestfs_list_filesystems in all possible places.
by Richard W.M. Jones 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642933 We had a lot of code before which used ad-hoc ways to list out all mountable filesystems in a guest. We now have a core inspection API (guestfs_list_filesystems) which does the same thing. These patches remove the last remaining use of the old way, in favour of using the core API.
