build: clean up stray files found by 'make distcheck'

2013-05-06T20:09:11+00:00

'make distcheck' complained:

ERROR: files left in build directory after distclean:
./python/libvirt.pyc
./tests/commandhelper.log

Problems introduced in commits f015495 and 25ea8e4 (both v1.0.3).

* tests/commandtest.c (test21): Check (and clean) log file.
* tests/commanddata/test21.log: New file.
* python/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Clean up compiled python files.

build: always include sanitytest in tarball

2013-05-03T15:26:38+00:00

The libvirt 1.0.5 tarball is missing a file which renders 'make
check' broken; first reported on list by Guido Günther.

* python/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Hoist sanitytest.py out of
HAVE_PYTHON conditional.

make: regenerate bindings when .py changes

sanitytest.py: Do not rely on system libvirt

2013-02-05T20:01:15+00:00

When running sanitytest.py we should not rely on libvirt library
installed on the system. And since we generate a nice wrapper called
"run" that sets both PYTHON_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, we should just use
it rather than trying to duplicate it in the Makefile.

Fix missing error constants in libvirt python module

2013-02-05T15:40:20+00:00

The previous change to the generator, changed too much - only
the functions are in 'virerror.c', the constants remained in
'virerror.h' which could not be renamed for API compat reasons.

Introduce an LXC specific public API & library

2013-01-14T13:58:34+00:00

This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.

The actual APIs are

  int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
                                int **fdlist,
                                unsigned int flags);

  int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
                                 unsigned int nfdlist,
                                 int *fdlist,
                                 unsigned int *noldfdlist,
                                 int **oldfdlist,
                                 unsigned int flags);

which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.

NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

list: provide python bindings for snapshots

2012-06-19T19:50:03+00:00

This adds support for the new virDomainListAllSnapshots (a domain
function) and virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren (a snapshot function)
to the libvirt-python bindings.  The implementation is done manually
as the generator does not support wrapping lists of C pointers into
python objects.

* python/libvirt-override.c (libvirt_virDomainListAllSnapshots)
(libvirt_virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren): New functions.
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml: Document them.
* python/libvirt-override-virDomain.py (listAllSnapshots): New
file.
* python/libvirt-override-virDomainSnapshot.py (listAllChildren):
Likewise.
* python/Makefile.am (CLASSES_EXTRA): Ship them.

python: Fix doc directory name for stable releases

2012-04-27T16:41:05+00:00

We were using the libvirt release version (like 0.9.11) and not
the configure version (which for stable releases is 0.9.11.X)

Most other places got this right so hopefully that's all the fallout
from the version format change :)

pyhton: Don't link against libvirt_util.la

2012-02-07T12:30:42+00:00

As we already link with libvirt.la which contains libvirt_utils.la.
Double linking causes global symbols to be presented twice and
thus confusion. This partially reverts c700613b8d463212d142c97108b7a2352e23e559

python: use libvirt_util to avoid raw free

2012-02-03T17:41:47+00:00

This patch starts the process of elevating the python binding code
to be on the same level as the rest of libvirt when it comes to
requiring good coding styles.  Statically linking against the
libvirt_util library makes it much easier to write good code,
rather than having to open-code and reinvent things locally.

Done by global search and replace of s/free(/VIR_FREE(/, followed
by hand-inspection of remaining malloc and redundant memset.

* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_raw_allocation):
Remove python from exemption.
* python/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add gnulib and src/util.  Drop
$(top_builddir)/$(subdir), as automake already guarantees that.
(mylibs, myqemulibs): Pull in libvirt_util and gnulib.
(libvirtmod_la_CFLAGS): Catch compiler warnings if configured to
use -Werror.
* python/typewrappers.c (libvirt_charPtrSizeWrap)
(libvirt_charPtrWrap): Convert free to VIR_FREE.
* python/generator.py (print_function_wrapper): Likewise.
* python/libvirt-override.c: Likewise.
