* build: Make netpbm and icoutils into proper optional dependencies.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-073-5/+57
| | | | | | | | Netpbm and icoutils (wrestool) have always been dependencies. Since they are not always present, make these into optional dependencies (which they were, sort of, before). Also document these dependencies in the README file.
* Add support for Buildroot and Cirros distributions.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-076-0/+92

* Whitespace change.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-071-1/+1

* Remove ConfigOnly flag from set-autosync.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-051-1/+1
| | | | | | guestfs_set_autosync sets a flag which affects guestfs_close, and so this call can be made at any time before the handle is closed, not just in the config state.
* Test header file under C++.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-044-0/+56
|
* Make "template" a reserved word.Marcin Gibula2012-03-042-4/+4
| | | | | | Function guestfs_mkdtemp uses c++ keyword "template" as a parameter name. In result, attempt to use guestfs.h header in c++ program results in compile error.

* ruby: Use RbConfig instead of Config.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-031-2/+2
| | | | I have checked, and this works with Ruby 1.8 as well.
* Add a 'fixed' style of appliance.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-031-3/+33
| | | | | | | | | | This is just the 'kernel', 'initrd' and 'root' files, copied from one machine to another, along with a 'README.fixed' file which is also used for identification. This allows the appliance to be copied from one machine to another, making it easier for us to distribute a starter appliance for people who cannot get febootstrap or appliance-building working.
* Rebrand 'ordinary appliance' as 'old-style appliance'.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-032-8/+8
| | | | This is just code motion.

The init script in the appliance uses a full paths for udevadm (/sbin/udevadm) which in my case was wrong. In Arch Linux udevadm is hosted under /usr/bin, not /sbin. When I fixed this, libguestfs was able to communicate with the appliance VM. Since PATH variable is defined and exported in init, there is no need in using full paths for external programs. As far as I've seen this affects all the git branches in libguestfs's repository. Please find attached a patch for the master branch.

* New API: set-label, for setting a label on any filesystem.Richard W.M. Jones2012-02-2711-36/+137
| | | | | | Currently only ext2/3/4 and (newly) NTFS are supported. This change also deprecates set-e2label.

| | | | | | | Add a flag "ConfigOnly" to make sure that some non-daemon functions should be called only at CONFIG state (RHBZ#796520). Signed-off-by: Wanlong Gao <gaowanlong@cn.fujitsu.com>

* sysprep: Try unmounting the filesystem a few times when busy.Richard W.M. Jones2012-02-151-1/+11
| | | | | tracker-miner-fs jumps into newly mounted filesystems. This prevents the filesystem from being unmounted, so retry a few times.
* appliance: Make appliance building thread-safe (RHBZ#790721).Richard W.M. Jones2012-02-151-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Appliance building can be called from multiple processes, but this is only safe if each process holds a lock on the 'checksum' file. However threads within a process are not excluded by a file lock, and so this strategy completely failed for a multithreaded program calling guestfs_launch in parallel. Since it makes no sense for threads in a single program to race each other to try to create the appliance, add a lock around appliance building. This serialises building the appliance, but the rest of guestfs_launch (eg. starting up qemu) can run in parallel.

| | | | | Test all the ways that the 'mount' command can fail. Ensure that none of them result in failures or desynchronization.
* regressions: One test is not being run.Richard W.M. Jones2012-02-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | rhbz727178.sh exists, but historically was never added to the list of tests, so it doesn't run. Create a special variable for this test and ensure it is added to EXTRA_DIST. Test was originally added in commit d7356a2801130907997acd5c7502e8417566e782.
* daemon: Return error properly when user tries to mount appliance root ↵Richard W.M. Jones2012-02-131-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | (RHBZ#789960). In the case where the caller attempts to mount the "hidden" appliance root device (eg. /dev/vdb if /dev/vda is the only normal block device added), we were calling reply_with_error but not actually returning immediately, resulting in protocol desynchronization. This commit fixes this obvious mistake.
* daemon: Don't xdr_free uninitialized args struct on error paths.Richard W.M. Jones2012-02-131-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For stubs of functions that had arguments, code did this: static void mount_stub (XDR *xdr_in) { int r; struct guestfs_mount_args args; if (optargs_bitmask != 0) { //... goto done; } // possibly other tests here memset (&args, 0, sizeof args); [...] done: xdr_free ((xdrproc_t) xdr_guestfs_mount_args, (char *) &args); return; } This caused xdr_free to be called on uninitialized 'args' struct, causing a segfault. The fix is to add another label, so the code looks like: static void mount_stub (XDR *xdr_in) { int r; struct guestfs_mount_args args; if (optargs_bitmask != 0) { //... goto done_no_free; } // possibly other tests here memset (&args, 0, sizeof args); [...] done: xdr_free ((xdrproc_t) xdr_guestfs_mount_args, (char *) &args); done_no_free: return; } This fixes commit 330fbea5b2d6bd7db84f7ea7afe87cf1bcd438e0 and commit 0344248af55802bbbd816b349ec1ba9305996f6e.
