From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com> Callers are supposed to use the availability API to check for functions that may not be available in particular builds of libguestfs. If they don't do this, currently they tend to get obscure error messages, eg: libguestfs: error: zerofree: /dev/vda1: zerofree: No such file or directory This commit changes the error

This started as a simple warning-elimination change. I'll get back to that series shortly ;-) It turned into a factorization and constification exercise during which I got a taste of ocaml. Thanks to Rich Jones for help with a few snippets in generator.ml. The overall result is that many previously-manually-maintained bits from daemon/*.c functions are now hoisted into the automatically-

I'm currently working on gobject bindings for libguestfs. I haven't got as far as compiling anything yet, but I've attached the C header for initial review.

Previously we had lots of types like String, Device, StringList, DeviceList, etc. where Device was just a String with magical properties (but only inside the daemon), and DeviceList was just a list of Device strings. Replace these with some simple top-level types: String StringList and move the magic into a subtype. The change is mechanical, for example: old

Very large but mechanical change to the generator. Rich.

This is a follow-up to the other generator changes in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-February/msg00217.html Rich.

Split up the huge generator/actions.ml into several smaller files. Rich.

The existing mechanism was clunky, slow and used ~ 10 MB of local disk. Rich.

Here is a preliminary fix for this bug. I'm running the test suite on this now. Rich.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401320 This series contains two new operations. The second -- and least controversial -- is "passwd-backups" which removes files such as /etc/passwd-, /etc/shadow- and so on. The first one ("backup-files") searches the whole guest filesystem for any regular file which looks like an editor backup file, such as "*~" and

v3: - Split out test for "unix-like" guest OSes into separate commit. - Add guestfish --format=qcow2 to the test (x2). Rich.

In v2: - The backup-files operation now operates on a conservative whitelist of filesystems, so it won't touch anything in /usr. Consequently it also runs much more quickly, about 4 seconds on the barebones virt-builder fedora-25 image. - Call Gc.compact () in visit_tests. - Added documentation to fnmatch.mli.

Because of previous automated commits, such as changing 'guestfs___' -> 'guestfs_int_', several function calls no longer lined up with their parameters, and some lines were too long. The bulk of this commit was done using emacs batch mode and the technique described here: http://www.cslab.pepperdine.edu/warford/BatchIndentationEmacs.html The changes suggested by emacs were

Gus: Can you give me an example of <netname>. My eth0 device is assigned a public ip address, but I will not use tinc to secure traffic over that interface. There will be an eth1 device that has a externally visible IP Address. It is on this eth1 device that I want the virtual tun0 device to route its traffic. Maybe under Ubuntu, I will have a different device name tun0? (I only
