similar to: [PATCH 0/3] Use gnulib's getprogname

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.

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

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

This adds a new tool which does a follow operation (ie. tail -f) on one or more log/text files inside the guest. I've only done limited testing, but it works for me for tailing various long-running builds inside guests which I'm doing at the moment. There are no tests at present. Rich.

Since v2: - Fix the things that Pino mentioned, except the recursion. - Implement Windows support. For Windows support to be sane, I had to inline the add_and_mount code. Rich.

In an effort to reduce the code, start to use few bits of GLib: - replace the gnulib c-type module - replace the gnulib getprogname module - use g_spawn_sync to launch curl, and drop a file reading function Pino Toscano (6): Include glib.h in p2v.h Use g_ascii_isspace instead of c_isspace from gnulib Use g_get_prgname instead of getprogname from gnulib build: remove no more used gnulib

* 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

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.

This is the same as the previous patch, but the partition type is now chosen automatically from mbr or gpt, unless the user expresses a preference. https://gb.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-January/msg00136.html Rich.

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 >

Rather than me explaining over again what it does, I've included the man page below.

Fix some quoting issues by introducing Unicode quotes. Note this intentionally only affects end-user messages and documentation. Rich.

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.

virt-p2v looks in /sys/block to find disks, and ignores the hard disk containing the root device. This is correct when virt-p2v runs off the ISO, but when running the tests on a machine that has a single hard disk, all_disks would be NULL, resulting in a test failure. Fix this by allowing all_disks to be NULL, but adding an extra check later so that we don't perform the conversion with no

Now that virt-p2v has its own repository [1] and releases [2], it is time to remove it from libguestfs.
