similar to: [PATCH] Add support for Windows dynamic disks (libldm / ldmtool).

Hi, recently, there was a discussion in the development list of libvirt on switching to a different JSON library than YAJL [1]. Since we use YAJL, and the points there IMHO apply to libguestfs as well, I decided to give a try in switching to Jansson [2]. The result IMHO is nice, with the additional APIs of Jansson that simplify some of our code. Unlike with YAJL, I did not set a minimum

While YAJL mostly works fine, it did not see any active development in the last 3 years. OTOH, Jansson is another JSON C implementation, with a very liberal license, and a much nicer API. Hence, switch all of libguestfs from YAJL to Jansson: - configure checks, and buildsystem in general - packages pulled in the appliance - actual implementations - contrib scripts - documentation This also

v2: wrap commit message, "PATCH libldm" prefix. v3: correctly initialize and free GLib resources. v4: gtk-doc is updated to reflect presence of new volume GUID field. The result of this patch might be used by libguestfs to return drive mappings for LDM volumes. Note, that "show volume" ldmtool command already returns hint which is a drive letter assigned by Windows to

Hi, this series adds a basic support for Simple Streams v1.0 metadata files. This makes it possible to create a repository .conf files with [cirros] uri=http://download.cirros-cloud.net format=simplestreams to read the latest version of each CirrOS image. TODO items: - check the pasted metadata: listing and creating images works, so most of the current metadata is correct - possibly wait

Patches 1-4 are almost the same as they are when previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-September/msg00039.html Patch 5 actually uses the mandatory locking test to turn off locking in the narrow case where a drive is opened readonly, and then only for the drive being inspected. Passes ordinary tests (‘check-direct’ and ‘check-valgrind-direct’). Rich.

The result of this patch will be used by libguestfs to return drive mappings for LDM volumes. Note, that "show volume" ldmtool command already returns hint which is a drive letter assigned by Windows to corresponding volume. But it is not reliable source of information. More over, in multiboot environment it is unclear which drive letter belongs to which operating system. Volume GUID

v2: wrap commit message, "PATCH libldm" prefix. The result of this patch might be used by libguestfs to return drive mappings for LDM volumes.

Require qemu >= 1.3.0, the first version that supported `qemu-img --output=json'. This means we require yajl (for parsing the JSON output of qemu-img), and that in turn has consequences elsewhere. --- README | 10 +- builder/Makefile.am | 2 - builder/sources.ml | 9 +- builder/yajl-c.c | 30 ----- builder/yajl.ml | 2 - builder/yajl.mli

The patch I posted last week to disable mandatory locking for readonly drives (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-September/msg00013.html) was wrong in a couple of respects. Firstly it didn't work, which I didn't detect because my tests were testing the wrong thing. Oops. Secondly it used a simple version number check to detect qemu binaries implementing mandatory locking.

Two simple build fixes for libldm. Well, the first isn't a build fix as such, but a code improvement. Rich.

When the LDM code was converted to the CLEANUP_* macros, a free() invocation for a CLEANUP_FREE variable was left in the ldmtool_diskgroup_volumes implementation, causing double-free on success.

This is a simpler patch that removes GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD completely.

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-May/msg00058.html v2: - more correct explanation of a crash reason. Mykola Ivanets (1): Fix crash while creating mapper for a volume which lacks of partitions. src/ldm.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.17.0

Replace GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD with a command line option ‘./guestfsd --print-external-commands’

The main goal of these patch series is to implement a new API that allows to retrieve created device-mapper devices for volumes and partitions back after they have been created. As part of this patch: - required libdevmapper version was bumped to 1.02. I think it is safe because it was released more then 10 years ago; - newer version of libdevmapper allowed to simplify code base a little bit; -
