similar to: [PATCH 00/16] Refactoring of configure.ac and guestfs.pod

This commit starts to split our massive, monolithic configure.ac file into smaller files, using the m4_include mechanism to combine them. I don't know if we should really do this, so I'm open to comments about it. However: - Our configure.ac script is 1800+ lines long, and that's pretty long. - configure.ac lacks structure; splitting it up might improve that. - From what I read,

At least libpython2.7-dev and libpython3.3-dev on current Debian/unstable ship with pkg-config files. As with the pkg-config check for Lua, we check for versioned and an unversioned .pc files. --- configure.ac | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++--------------- python/Makefile.am | 2 +- 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index

Without this option, configure will fail when there is no display.

Building against multiple versions of Python is a lot of fun as it is. Add autoconf/automake/libtool (and possible distribution-specific stuff) to the mix and things get really interesting: On Debian and Ubuntu, building against python 3.3 requires an extra include path as documented in <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692387>.

These three patches ought to fix configure script detection of Ruby, especially on Debian where the Ruby C extensions library can be something like '-lruby1.8'. Rich.

This is the same fix I posted a few days ago for hivex (<1369351909-23821-3-git-send-email-bengen@hilluzination.de>). Cheers, -Hilko

Hi, continuing what started a couple of weeks ago [1], the attached patch series continues the work in making it easier to build and run libguestfs (in fixed appliance mode) on OSes different than Linux. The provided changes should cause no functional changes on Linux. [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-October/msg00176.html Thanks, -- Pino Pino Toscano (9): build: check

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-November/msg00068.html v1 -> v2: - Use a configure-time test. Rich.

OCaml 4.02 introduced the 'bytes' type, a mutable string intended to replace the existing 'string' type for those cases where the byte array can be mutated. In future the 'string' type will become immutable. This is not the default now, but it can be forced using the '-safe-string' compile option. I tested this on Fedora 24 (OCaml 4.02) & RHEL 7 (OCaml 4.01).

Hi, as it was already discussed on this list, here it is my attempt in splitting virt-p2v in an own repository. Sadly there are things that must be copied from libguestfs, as it cannot be avoided. The approach taken was to run a script (will send separately) to just get the "p2v" subdirectory with its history as own repository, and then add in few followup commits all the bits needed

This version of the Gtk 2/3 patch gets alignment and padding mostly right. I still can't work out how to vertically align labels in the middle of a cell in a GtkGrid. The GtkTextView in the final dialog is still broken. Rich.

v1 -> v2: - No functional changes to the patch, just fixes a few bugs. Rich.

Dear FLAC devs, I would like to get some of our patches merged into master. Most of them deal with adhering to GNU conventions, respectively not overriding flags/variables that are up to the user to set. For instance, honoring $(htmldir) is important, as we have installation paths for the documentation that differ from what is currently coded in the various Makefile.am's. Regards David

Patch #7 depends on: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-January/msg00035.html No, Python < 3 support is not dropped yet, however it will be easier after this series. Pino Toscano (7): build: enforce a minimum Python version python: drop code for Python < 2.5 python: assume support for Capsules python: remove compile time check for PyString_AsString python: replace

This patch proposes to drop support for Python 2 in nbdkit. Rather than abruptly drop it everywhere, my proposal is that we point people to nbdkit 1.14 (the current stable version) if they want to continue with Python 2 plugins, while gently reminding them of the upcoming Python 2.7 end of life announcement. Libnbd never supported Python 2. Libguestfs in theory supports Python 2 but I dropped
