similar to: [PATCH] Use RHN to retrieve replacement packages

This patch series includes a repost of Milan's unmodified RHN support patch because I haven't pushed it yet. On top of that patch, it includes the capabilities patch in as many bits as I could make it into. The big one is 7/8. I've tested all of the following guests both with and without RHN registration: Xen RHEL 54 PV Xen RHEL 51 PV Xen RHEL 48 PV ESX RHEL 54 FV

This change is part of an ongoing effort to remove use of $desc and inspect the OS directly as required during conversion. --- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Connection/LibVirtTarget.pm | 4 +- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Connection/RHEVTarget.pm | 41 +++++++++--------- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter.pm | 35 ++++++++++++---- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/RedHat.pm | 45

Mike, This is great. I have a couple of minor comments inline, but this looks good. I do have a major concern, though, which is this is basically a fork of RedHat.pm. There are well over 1,000 identical lines of code between the 2 modules. Many of the differences are relatively minor, and could be handled with additional cases. I've also fixed a couple of bits in RedHat.pm since you forked

This is a new conversion module to convert SUSE Linux and openSUSE guests. The converter is based on the RedHat module, and should offer the same functionality on both SUSE and RedHat hosts. There are a few additional messages in this module, such as reporting of packages when installing through zypper or the local virt-v2v repo. These messages don't necessarily flow unless verbose switches

This is a proposed patch which changes the RedHat.pm converter to Linux.pm, and adds support for SUSE guest conversion. This is first approach recommended by Matt Booth in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-September/msg00076.html Some aspects of this patch still need additional testing, and a couple of changes are not foolproof (such as the lack of grub2 support in the menu.lst

The SUSE converter itself, based on the RedHat converter. This supports converting SLES 10/11 and openSUSE 10/11/12/13. --- MANIFEST | 1 + lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/SUSE.pm | 2527 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 2528 insertions(+) diff --git a/MANIFEST b/MANIFEST index 3724fde..615ec32 100644 --- a/MANIFEST +++ b/MANIFEST @@ -17,6 +17,7

Conversion would fail if it was necessary to install a package, and multiple architectures of that package were already installed. This was happening specifically with device-mapper on RHEL 5 conversions. Unfortunately the flat dependency list in the config file didn't really allow this to be fixed. The best that could be done is to specify both i386 and x86_64 dependencies, but would mean

In preparation for an upcoming patch which adds support for SUSE guest conversions, it makes sense to have an intermediate steps that changes the RedHat.pm converter into a more generic Linux converter. The SUSE changes will then be limited in scope to only what is required for SUSE support. This series of patches accomplishes the following: - Renames RedHat.pm to Linux.pm - Modifies Linux.pm

When a conversion requires a file from the config file which isn't present, we currently die and report which file was missing. If there are many missing dependencies, using this method to find them all would take multiple runs. This change attempts to find all missing dependencies in the first run. --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Config.pm | 9 ---- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm | 83

The following patch adds augeas_error to the Sys::VirtConvert::Util use statement for GrubLegacy (matching what is used in the Grub2 package). This is required to prevent an undefined subroutine error for the augeas_error call in list_kernels(). There are also a few minor typo fixups: - A message string in _configure_kernel was missing the $ before a variable - In _install_capability, the

We previously wouldn't create a Config object if no config file was specified. This change ensures that a Config object is always created, but will do nothing interesting if there is no config file. Apart from being slightly cleaner, this allows information provided by Config to be later supplied from the command line instead. --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Config.pm | 34

Previously, only the LibVirtXML connection translated network and bridge names in imported metadata. This change moves this functionality in Converter, making it available to LibVirt connections as well. At the same time, the format of the config file is switched to XML. The primary driver for this is that the allowable syntax of a foreign network/bridge name is not known. Rather than create a

This approach looks great. I think there are a couple of bits to look at (see below), but probably not much.

If a volume is not an exact multiple of 512 bytes, qemu-img will report its size rounded down to a 512 byte boundary. However, when copying, the file is still read until EOF, which will return more data than was expected. This change prevents that causing a failure in itself. The situation is still not resolved, however, as there are still situations where this will cause a failure. For example,

The following series of patches adds support for converting SUSE guests through virt-v2v. These changes should not impact non-SUSE guest conversions.
