Wherever we had code which did: if (something_bad) { perror (...); exit (EXIT_FAILURE); } replace this with use of the error(3) function: if (something_bad) error (EXIT_FAILURE, errno, ...); The error(3) function is supplied by glibc, or by gnulib on platforms which don't have it, and is much more flexible than perror(3). Since we already use error(3), there seems to be

Since the first patch: - The program is now called 'guestunmount'. - I tested the --fd option and it appears to work. - You can now control retries / quiet. - Revised man pages. - Includes tests. I'm just running through the automated tests now. Rich.

* PATCH FOR DISCUSSION ONLY - NOT TO BE APPLIED * Colin suggested something which seems eminently sensible: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916780 I've been through a couple of rounds of trying to implement this. I started with adding the option as suggested to the guestmount program, but it tended to make the guestmount program more complex. More importantly, adding the option

I thought it would be easy to rewrite virt-make-fs in C. Two days later ... The Perl program uses a lot of external commands, which makes it pretty tedious to implement in C. Rich.

The full description of this bug is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838592 and the effect it has on OpenStack is described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835466#c9 Rich.

Hi, this series update libguestfs to a recent gnulib version, so that we can use its new getprogname module, and solve altogether one of the porting issues (the need for 'program_name' by the error module of gnulib), and have a single way to get the name of the current program. A number of changes in tools mostly, although mechanical. Thanks, Pino Toscano (3): Update gnulib to latest

Nearly any program that writes to standard output can benefit from this sort of fix. Without it, running e.g., ./guestfish --version > /dev/full would exit successfully, even though it got ENOSPC when writing to the full device. That means regular output redirected to a file on a full partition may also fail to be written, and the error ignored. Before: $ guestfish --version >

Hi, the following series adds a --key option in the majority of tools: this makes it possible to pass LUKS credentials programmatically, avoid the need to manually input them, or unsafely pass them via stdin. Thanks, Pino Toscano (2): mltools: create a cmdline_options struct Introduce a --key option in tools that accept keys builder/cmdline.ml | 2 +-

This implements most of RHBZ#1367738. I didn't bother with virt-v2v-copy-to-local and virt-win-reg, but all the other tools now have full bash completion. Rich.

libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers. These aren't valid for global names in C++. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/228797) These large but completely mechanical patches change the illegal identifiers to legal ones. Rich.

Nothing new in the virt-tail command itself, but the second commit includes a simple test. Rich.

In the kernel and qemu communities it is routine for patches that will be backported to stable branches to be posted for review. I'm proposing we do the same for libguestfs stable branches. All of the attached have been tested with 'make check-release'. Rich.
