Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags. There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML doctype to all files forces us to create good XML. This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag problems it exposes. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>

docs: switch to using HTML5 doctype declaration The HTML5 doctype is simply <!DOCTYPE html> no DTD is present because HTML5 is no longer defined as an extension of SGML. XSL has no way to natively output a doctype without a public or system identifier, so we have to use an <xsl:text> hack instead.

docs: introduce rst2man as a mandatory tool for building docs The rst2man tool is provided by python docutils, and as the name suggests, it converts RST documents into man pages. The intention is that our current POD docs will be converted to RST format, allowing one more use of Perl to be eliminated from libvirt. The manual pages will now all be kept in the docs/manpages/ directory, which enables us to include the man pages in the published website. This is good for people searching for libvirt man pages online as it makes it more likely google will send them to the libvirt.org instead of some random third party man page site with outdated content.

docs: remove link to virsh cmd ref & app dev guide Both the application developer guide and virsh command reference are unmaintained for best part of 8 years, and so horrifically out of date. This does not give a good impression to people reading the docs. Now that we are publishing the man pages online, those are a better doc to read for virsh. We can also highlight the API reference instead of the app dev guide. The virsh command reference & app dev guide will still exist on the web root, but will not be linked to.

backup: Document new XML for checkpoints Prepare for new checkpoint APIs by describing the XML that will represent a checkpoint. The checkpoint XML is modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr. See the docs for more details. Add testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML (bare minimum, the sample from html, and a full dumpxml, and some counter-examples that should fail schema validation). Although use of the REDEFINE flag will require the <domain> subelement to be present, it is easier for most of the tests to provide counterpart output produced with the NO_DOMAIN flag (particularly since synthesizing a valid <domain> during testing is not trivial).

backup: Document new XML for backups Prepare for new backup APIs by describing the XML that will represent a backup. The XML resembles snapshots and checkpoints in being able to select actions for a set of disks, but has other differences. It can support both push model (the hypervisor does the backup directly into the destination file) and pull model (the hypervisor exposes an access port for a third party to grab what is necessary). Add testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML. The <disk> element within <domainbackup> tries to model the same elements as a <disk> under <domain>, but sharing the RNG grammar proved to be hairy. That is in part because while <domain> use <source> to describe a host resource in use by the guest, a backup job is using a host resource that is not visible to the guest: a push backup action is instead describing a <target> (which ultimately could be a remote network resource, but for simplicity the RNG just validates a local file for now), and a pull backup action is instead describing a temporary local file <scratch> (which probably should not be a remote resource). A future refactoring may thus introduce some way to parameterize RNG to accept <disk type='FOO'>...</disk> so that the name of the subelement can be <source> for domain, or <target> or <scratch> as needed for backups. Future patches may improve this area of code. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

docs: add a page describing support guarantees for libvirt features While we have collective knowledge about the support status of various parts of libvirt, this has never been formally documented, leaving our users to guess. Note, this document makes one change to our previous policy. It explicitly declares the RPC protocol of libvirtd as being a supported interface. THis accepts the reality that we can a) never change it without breaking compat with old libvirt.so, b) there are both rust + go impls that are written against the RPC protocol already.

docs: attempt to document the general libvirt dev strategy There are various ideas / plans floating around for future libvirt work, some of which is actively in progress. Historically we've never captured this kind of information anywhere, except in mailing list discussions. In particular guidelines in hacking.html.in don't appear until a policy is actively applied. This patch attempts to fill the documentation gap, by creating a new "strategy" page which outlines the general vision for some notable future changes. The key thing to note is that none of the stuff on this page is guaranteed, plans may change as new information arises. IOW this is a "best guess" as to the desired future.
