podwrapper: Add --license parameter, which is required.

2012-08-30T21:04:55+00:00

This adds standard LICENSE and BUGS sections to all of the man pages
that are processed by podwrapper.

Modify all the calls to $(PODWRAPPER) to add the right --license
parameter according to the content.  Note that this relaxes the
license on some code example pages, making them effectively BSD-style
licensed.

man pages: Ensure consistent copyright/author sections, remove license

2012-08-30T21:04:55+00:00

section.

Ensure each man page contains consistent COPYRIGHT and AUTHOR
sections.

Remove the LICENSE section.  We will add that back in podwrapper in a
later commit.

fish: Rename fish/virt.c to fish/domain.c

2012-08-05T20:30:52+00:00

This file handles the -d option for guestfish and other C command line
utilities.  Renaming this file makes it less confusing.

docs: Use L<...> for links.

2012-08-05T20:15:47+00:00

Instead of working around bugs, podwrapper has been fixed so that
links work in all output formats.

build: Change calls to podwrapper.sh to use $(PODWRAPPER).

2012-08-05T20:12:22+00:00

This will allow us to easily change the location of this
script in future.

New API: guestfs_shutdown: Cleanly shutdown the backend.

2012-07-06T16:36:30+00:00

The new API splits orderly close into a two-step process:

  if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) {
    /* handle the error, eg. qemu error */
  }
  guestfs_close (g);

Note that the explicit shutdown step is only necessary in the case
where you have made changes to the disk image and want to handle write
errors.  Read the documentation for further information.

This change also:

 - deprecates guestfs_kill_subprocess

 - turns guestfs_kill_subprocess into the same as guestfs_shutdown

 - changes guestfish and other tools to call shutdown + close
   where necessary (not for read-only tools)

 - updates documentation

 - updates examples

tests: Use qemu-img to create an overlay for testing, instead of copying.

2012-07-06T16:36:29+00:00

Replace:

  cp tests/guests/fedora.img test.img

with the longer but possibly more space-efficient equivalent:

  qemu-img create -F raw -b tests/guests/fedora.img -f qcow2 test.qcow2
