* build: Define builddir and abs_srcdir when they are missing.Richard W.M. Jones2012-06-181-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* virtio-scsi: Increase udev timeout.Richard W.M. Jones2012-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | In Koji, when you've got 200+ disks, udev times out before all the udev events have been processed.
* appliance: Add lsscsi to package list.Richard W.M. Jones2012-06-131-0/+1

* appliance: 'udevd' has been renamed, since it joined systemd.Richard W.M. Jones2012-05-281-28/+29
|
* appliance: Move udev (common package name) to the common section.Richard W.M. Jones2012-05-281-3/+1
| | | | This should be just code motion.
* appliance: Include 'bzip2' in appliance (RHBZ#824716).Richard W.M. Jones2012-05-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | Missing package caused this error in compress-device-out: libguestfs: error: compress_device_out: compression type bzip2 is not supported Thanks Mohua Li.
* appliance: Remove some unnecessary errors.Richard W.M. Jones2012-04-251-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | virt-rescue prints errors such as: rm: cannot remove `/proc': Is a directory mkdir: cannot create directory `/proc': File exists rm: cannot remove `/sys': Is a directory mkdir: cannot create directory `/sys': File exists People have reported these errors (which are nothing to worry about) as bugs in the past, so avoid them where possible.
* Fix libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance --help option so it displays usage.Richard W.M. Jones2012-04-091-1/+3
| | | | Previously it printed 'Internal error!'

|
* appliance: Include genisoimage in the appliance.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-161-0/+1
| | | | | This is mainly useful for the 'isoinfo' tool, but 'genisoimage' itself may be interesting to have in future.

|
* appliance: Enhance --enable-valgrind-daemon with a suppressions file.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-143-3/+26
| | | | This lets us suppress errors in system libraries.

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.

* build: Choose a virtual directory for the daemon which is not a symlink.Richard W.M. Jones2012-02-061-4/+5
| | | | | | | Check /sbin, /usr/sbin, /bin and /usr/bin to ensure that neither the directory nor the parent (eg. /usr) is a symlink, and use this directory for the virtual directory used to store guestfsd in the appliance.
* appliance: udev >= 176 now requires /dev to be a devtmpfs.Richard W.M. Jones2012-01-271-0/+3
| | | | | See this udev commit: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=220893b3cbdbf8932f95c44811b169a8f0d33939
* appliance: Switch to using 'iproute' ('ip' command) from 'net-tools' ↵Jiri Popelka2012-01-252-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | (RHBZ#784647). Change 'ifconfig' and 'netstat' commands to use 'ip' instead. 'iproute' was already included in the appliance, so this reduces the size of the appliance accordingly.
* Enable running the daemon under valgrind.Richard W.M. Jones2012-01-243-3/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit allows you to run the daemon under valgrind. You have to enable it at configure time: ./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon This should *not* be done for production builds. When this feature is enabled, valgrind is added to the appliance and the daemon is run under valgrind. Log messages from valgrind are passed back over a virtio-serial channel into a file called 'valgrind.log.$PID' in the top build directory. Running 'make check', 'make extra-tests' etc causes many valgrind.log.* files to be created which must be examined by hand.
* appliance: Add psmisc package to the appliance.Richard W.M. Jones2012-01-191-0/+1
| | | | This allows us to use 'fuser' and other ps tools.
* Tempus fugit.Richard W.M. Jones2012-01-181-1/+1
| | | | Update all copyright dates to 2012.
* daemon: Use pkg-config to locate Augeas CFLAGS / libraries.Richard W.M. Jones2011-12-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Augeas 0.10 depends on libxml2, so this is now required in the appliance (in fact, it was already present). However this exposed two bugs: (1) In libguestfs we use a home-brewed recipe for Augeas flags, resulting in this error: /usr/include/augeas.h:24:25: fatal error: libxml/tree.h: No such file or directory (2) Augeas's own augeas.pc didn't include the libxml2 flags, so it was broken. This requires a patch to Augeas 0.10, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/augeas-devel/2011-December/msg00008.html Change to using pkg-config to detect Augeas. It is still an optional library.
* New API: list-md-devices.Matthew Booth2011-11-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | Return a list of Linux MD devices detected in the guest. This API complements list_devices, list_partitions, list_lvs and list_dm_devices.
* Update FSF address.Matthew Booth2011-11-082-2/+2
|
* appliance: Add 'mdadm' package.Richard W.M. Jones2011-10-311-0/+1
|
* appliance: udev-174 moves udevd to /lib/udev/udevd (instead of /sbin/udevd)Richard W.M. Jones2011-10-201-0/+5
|
* Ubuntu 11.10: Create /run and /run/lock if not already.Richard W.M. Jones2011-10-181-0/+1
| | | | In real machines these directories are a ramdisk.
* appliance: Fedora cryptsetup-luks renamed to cryptsetup.Richard W.M. Jones2011-10-141-1/+2
| | | | Therefore we need both names to be listed in the file.
* Use ArchLinux's new kernel package "linux".Erik Nolte2011-10-141-1/+1
|
* New APIs: compress-out, compress-device-out.Richard W.M. Jones2011-09-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These APIs let you copy compressed files or devices out from the disk image. Compression is useful for large images which are mostly zeroes. We cannot currently do sparseness detection, and compression gives us a form of zero detection for free. Example usage: $ guestfish --ro -a /dev/vg_pin/F16x64 -i \ compress-out gzip /etc/passwd /tmp/passwd.gz $ file -z /tmp/passwd.gz /tmp/passwd.gz: ASCII text (gzip compressed data, was "passwd", from Unix, last modified: Sun Aug 28 14:40:46 2011)
* Create /sys directory if it doesn't exist already.Richard W.M. Jones2011-09-011-0/+1
| | | | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS packages don't create /sys.
* out-of-tree build: fix applianceHilko Bengen2011-08-151-0/+1
|
* debian: Add gawk to packagelist.Richard W.M. Jones2011-08-021-0/+1
| | | | It's already included, but implicitly.
* appliance: Add systemd to get /sbin/reboot for virt-rescue (RHBZ#661280).Richard W.M. Jones2011-07-132-5/+1
|
* init: Remove timeout in udevadm settle command.Richard W.M. Jones2011-06-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The given timeout (10s) was too low if the appliance was running slowly, which caused a cascade of other failures during tests. Note that in udev-171 and above on Fedora, /sbin/start_udev no longer exists, so now we are using this manual method to start udevd.
* fuse: Fix getxattr, listxattr calls and add a regression test (RHBZ#691389).Richard W.M. Jones2011-03-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation for the getxattr and listxattr calls is not very clear and as a result we were always returning something different from that which the Linux kernel would usually return. This fixes these calls, at least far enough that both the 'getfattr' and 'getfacl' programs now work fine on FUSE-mounted filesystems. Note that SELinux attrs are *not* passed through. This appears to be a known bug between SELinux and FUSE. For more information see: http://www.spinics.net/lists/selinux/msg09460.html Notes: Labels: bugfix, RHBZ#691389
* debian: Rename nilfs2-tools to nilfs-tools.Richard W.M. Jones2011-03-051-1/+1
|
* daemon: Remove -f (don't fork) option.Richard W.M. Jones2011-02-031-1/+1
| | | | This option was not being used.
* packagelist: Add ufsutils for Debian and Ubuntu.Richard W.M. Jones2011-01-261-0/+1
| | | | | Note there is no mkfs.ufs available for Fedora (see RHBZ#541618 for details).
* appliance: Don't exclude upstart (/sbin/reboot) (RHBZ#661280).Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-191-1/+0
| | | | | Don't exclude upstart from the appliance. It provides /sbin/reboot which is required by virt-rescue.
* appliance: Don't hard-code febootstrap --exclude parameters.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-194-7/+75
| | | | | Create a separate file 'excludelist.in' that contains these regular expressions, and process it the same way as packagelist.in.
* appliance: Use a temporary file when processing packagelist.in.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-191-1/+2
|
* appliance: Add 'attr' package for xattr support in virt-rescue.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-161-0/+1
|
* Removed hfsprogs from supermin packages for ArchThomas S Hatch2010-12-121-1/+0
|
* debian: Work around warning in Debian udev init script.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-101-0/+5
| | | | | See also: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606622
* Added packages for Archlinux supportThomas S Hatch2010-12-101-0/+22
|
* debian: Exclude file-rc.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-091-0/+3
| | | | | This package duplicates /etc/init.d/README which is really supplied by sysv-rc package.
* appliance: Don't quote the --exclude parameters.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | The quotes appear literally on the command line: $ s="--foo 'bar'" $ echo $s --foo 'bar'
* Add --with-febootstrap-yum-config.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-061-4/+5
| | | | | | | This allows the febootstrap --yum-config option to be passed through, allowing a separate yum configuration to be used. The hope is that this will enable building in Koji.
* build: Use grub-pc instead of old grub on Debian and Ubuntu.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-061-1/+2
|
* build: Add diff to package list for Debian and Ubuntu.Richard W.M. Jones2010-12-061-0/+1
