libguestfs: Added gnulib includes from builddir, as suggested by the Gnulib documentation

2011-12-01T23:40:58+00:00

    Since some modules (`getopt', for example) may copy files
    into the build directory, `top_builddir/lib' is needed as well as
    `top_srcdir/lib'. -- GNU Gnulib manual, section 2.2 Initial import

Update FSF address.

test-user-cancel: Make this test choose smaller cancellation numbers.

2011-10-26T16:07:02+00:00

Use a Gaussian distribution for random numbers so that smaller numbers
are chosen more frequently.

This also exposes a bug in this test which only happens when small
numbers are chosen:

If the test thread starts up quickly, it can get to
guestfs_user_cancel before the guestfs_upload command has happened in
the main thread.  This causes the cancel to be ignored (correctly) and
we end up in the second loop writing data until the disk runs out of
space.  Fix this by repeatedly asserting the cancel flag in the second
loop.

build: Set TMPDIR for local testing.

2011-08-08T11:41:54+00:00

This avoids conflicts with the globally installed libguestfs
appliance, or lets us build in multiple local directories at the same
time without conflicts.

Add user cancellation to the C API.

2011-07-15T13:11:46+00:00

This allows long transfers (FileIn and FileOut operations) to be
cancelled by calling the signal and thread safe guestfs_user_cancel
function.

Most of this commit consists of a multithreaded program that tests
user cancellation of uploads and downloads.

tests: Ignore return value from fwrite.

New event API (RHBZ#664558).

2011-03-15T12:16:50+00:00

This API allows more than one callback to be registered for each
event, makes it possible to call the API from other languages, and
allows [nearly all] log, debug and trace messages to be rerouted from
stderr.

An older version of this API was discussed on the mailing list here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-December/msg00081.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2011-January/msg00012.html

This also updates guestfish to use the new API for its progress bars.

New APIs: guestfs_first_private, guestfs_next_private to walk over

2011-03-15T12:16:50+00:00

the private data area.

This commit adds new APIs for walking over the keys and pointers in
the private data area associated with each handle (note this is only
applicable to the C API).

appliance: Change to using febootstrap 3.x supermin appliance.

2010-12-05T11:23:23+00:00

This removes all support for building the ordinary / old
style appliance using febootstrap 2.x, debootstrap, debirf,
fakeroot and fakechroot.

Instead this uses febootstrap 3.x to build the supermin appliance
in a simpler cross-distro manner.
