EPEL 5: Add gnulib utimensat module.

2012-06-27T15:36:16+00:00

This function is missing in RHEL 5-era kernels.

bootstrap: Remove autopoint, po stuff from bootstrap script.

2012-05-09T15:13:57+00:00

It's not needed since we no longer use gettextize cruft.

Use O_CLOEXEC / SOCK_CLOEXEC for almost all file descriptors.

2012-03-14T19:30:46+00:00

The presumption is that all file descriptors should be created with
the close-on-exec flag set.  The only exception are file descriptors
that we want passed through to exec'd subprocesses (mainly pipes and
stdin/stdout/stderr).

For open calls, we pass O_CLOEXEC as an extra flag, eg:

  fd = open ("foo", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC);

This is a Linux-ism, but using a macro we can easily make it portable.

For sockets, similarly:

  sock = socket (..., SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, ...);

For accepted sockets, we use the Linux accept4 system call which
allows flags to be supplied, but we use the Gnulib 'accept4' module to
make this portable.

For dup, dup2, we use the Linux dup3 system call, and the Gnulib
modules 'dup3' and 'cloexec'.

daemon: Remove separate configure of daemon subdirectory.

2011-08-05T11:34:11+00:00

Combine the two Gnulib instances together.

Add checks from old daemon/configure.ac into configure.ac.

Fix daemon/Makefile.am so it is like a normal subdirectory
Makefile.am.

Because we are now using the replacement strerror_r function from
Gnulib (instead of the one from glibc directly), this requires a small
change to src/guestfs.c.

bootstrap: use --libtool

2011-06-10T11:29:49+00:00

New tool: virt-filesystems

2010-11-23T10:22:08+00:00

This tool replaces virt-list-filesystems and virt-list-partitions with
a new tool written in C with a more uniform command line structure
and output.

This existing Perl tools are deprecated but remain indefinitely.

Revert "Remove ocaml/.depend from git."

2010-11-08T22:35:13+00:00

This reverts commit 064569bcbf854a9cf588ce31851d987d5f114ec8.

This commit does the wrong thing: creating an empty ocaml/.depend
file is wrong because building the OCaml bindings will fail.
Not having this file will prevent automake from running.  Therefore
this file has to exist with the correct content in git.

Remove ocaml/.depend from git.

2010-10-28T14:16:14+00:00

ocaml/.depend is automatically generated. This patch removes it from git.

po: Don't generate po/Makevars file and include Perl keywords (RHBZ#559963).

2010-05-12T17:13:01+00:00

I don't see a reason to autogenerate po/Makevars, and in the
earlier commit which changed this file to being autogenerated
we accidentally lost the special Perl keywords, copyright notice
and bug reporting address.  Fix all of that.

This partially reverts commit febff9d2a35c4f40abbaf8943146476bdeac671e.

Mac OS X: Use gnulib setenv module explicitly.
