This patch series is just FYI at the moment. However it does pass the tests. The daemon is a self-contained program. We don't need to write it all in C. Writing parts of it in OCaml would make it simpler and less error-prone. In particular if the daemon was written in a more sane programming language then we could move the inspection code to run entirely inside the appliance, which would

Hi all, Here is an update of the series fixing Pino's latest comment. It just doesn't implement the change based on never-accepted run commands patch. Cédric Bosdonnat (9): lib/osinfo.c: Extract xml processing into a callback lib: extract osinfo DB traversing API mllib: ocaml wrapper for lib/osinfo builder: rename docs test script builder: add a template parameter to get_index

Version 1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00003.html This patch series reimplements a few more APIs in OCaml, including some very important core APIs like ?list_filesystems? and ?mount?. All the tests pass after this. The selection of APIs that I have moved may look a little random, but in fact they are all APIs consumed by the inspection code (and some more

v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00008.html This series gets as far as a working (and faster) reimplementation of ‘guestfs_list_filesystems’. I also have another patch series on top of this one which reimplements the inspection APIs inside the daemon, but that needs a bit more work still, since inspection turns out to be a very large piece of code. Rich.

This is just the utilities part of the patch series from: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00103.html I believe this addresses everything raised in comments on that patch series. Rich.

This turned out to be rather more involved than I thought. We have lots of utility functions, spread all over the repository, with not a lot of structure. This moves many of them under common/ and structures them so there are clear dependencies. This doesn't complete the job by any means. Other items I had on my to-do list for this change were: - Split up mllib/common_utils into: -

This is a combination of: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00046.html [PATCH 00/12] Refactor utility functions. plus: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00023.html [PATCH v3 00/19] Allow APIs to be implemented in OCaml. with the second patches rebased on top of the utility refactoring, and some other adjustments and extensions. This passes

v5: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00065.html Since v5, this now implements inspection almost completely for Linux and Windows guests. Rich.
