EPEL 5: sparsify: Fix command line options for old qemu-img.

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

This didn't have -o backing_file etc.  Use old -b and -F options instead.

EPEL 5: Old ocamlopt didn't support debugging (-g option).

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

tests: Add ./run --test option.

2012-06-26T22:34:30+00:00

This option, when added via
  TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = [...] $(top_builddir)/run --test
allows us to run the tests and only print the full output (including
debugging etc) when the test fails.

build: Define builddir and abs_srcdir when they are missing.

2012-06-18T14:32:47+00:00

RHEL 5-era autoconf did not define these, so define them manually
when they are missing.

Define builddir as '.'  The scripts require this.  It won't work
in the srcdir != builddir case, but we don't care about that for
RHEL 5.

This commit also moves the builddir / abs_srcdir variable setting
above the include of subdir-rules.mk, in case that include uses
these variables.

Useful script:

  for f in $(find -name Makefile.am | xargs fgrep '$(abs_srcdir)' -l) ; do
    if ! grep -q '^abs_srcdir' $f; then
      echo missing in $f
    fi
  done

ocaml: Use OCAMLOPTFLAGS when compiling .cmx (ie. native code) files.

2012-06-18T14:32:38+00:00

New API: guestfs_canonical_device_name.

2012-06-13T22:07:26+00:00

This API makes device names canonical, eg. /dev/vda1 -> /dev/sda1.

Add gettext support for OCaml tools (virt-resize, virt-sparsify, virt-sysprep).

2012-05-01T08:39:35+00:00

Note that this support is optional: To enable it, install the
ocaml-gettext library from
http://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/ocaml-gettext .  If this library
is not installed, then configure detects this and inserts dummy
gettext functions that do nothing.

sparsify: Add a note about sparsify on tmpfs.

2012-04-18T09:51:04+00:00

resize, sparsify: Add a simple-minded check to stop indisk = outdisk.

2012-04-17T14:03:02+00:00

sparsify: Fix comma/colon and quoting in qemu-img command.

2012-04-17T13:58:40+00:00

Colon characters are not allowed in qemu/qemu-img filenames.  There's
no way to quote them.

Comma characters CAN be used.  However they must be quoted (by
doubling) when used in the '-o' option.

Fix general quoting problems in the external command.
