The Travis CI system uses Docker containers for its build environment.
These are pre-built and hosted under quay.io/libvirt so that developers
can use them for reproducing problems locally.
Getting the right Docker command syntax to use them, however, is not
entirely easy. This patch addresses that usability issue by introducing
some make targets. To run a simple build (aka 'make all') using the
Fedora 28 container:
make ci-build@fedora-28
To also run unit tests
make ci-check@fedora-28
This is just syntax sugar for calling the previous command with a
custom make target
make ci-build@fedora-28 CI_MAKE_ARGS="check"
To do a purely interactive build it is possible to request a shell
make ci-shell@fedora-28
To do a MinGW build, it is currently possible to use the fedora-rawhide
image and request a different configure script
make ci-build@fedora-rawhide CI_CONFIGURE=mingw32-configure
It is also possible to do cross compiled builds via the Debian containers
make ci-build@debian-9-cross-s390x
In all cases the GIT source tree is cloned locally into a 'ci-tree/src'
sub-directory which is then exposed to the container at '/src'. It is
setup to use a separate build directory so the build takes place in a
subdir '/src/build'. A source tree build can be requested instead
by passing an empty string CI_VPATH= arg to make.
The make rules are kept in a standalone file that is included into the
main Makefile.am, so that it is possible to run them without having to
invoke autotools first.
It is neccessary to disable the gnulib submodule commit check because
this fails due to the way we have manually cloned submodule repos as
primary git repos with their own .git directory, instead of letting
git treat them as submodules in the top level .git directory.

renders as nothing but the following text:

Our ChangeLog is generated by basically redirecting the output
of 'git log' into it so, as can be expected, it has only gotten
bigger as development has progressed. As of today, its size has
reached pretty much comical levels:
$ du -sk ChangeLog
11328 ChangeLog
All of that for information *literally nobody* cares about: end
users and distro maintainers have proper release notes lovingly
compiled for them, while developers peruse the history either by
calling 'git log' directly or through their favorite $EDITOR's
git integration.
Replacing the generated ChangeLog with a short message pointing
interested parties to the git repository does not only reduce
the size of the unpacked sources from 259904 KiB to 248576 KiB
(~4% saving): from a quick test on my laptop, doing so reduces
the size of the *compressed* release archive from 15140 KiB to
12364 KiB (~18% saving) and also takes the time needed to run
'make distcheck' down from 4:44 to 4:21 (~8% saving).

In order to be able to dissect libvirt protocol the wireshark
plugin needs to be registered. So far this plugin registration
code was generated on every build using a script that was copied
over from wireshark's tools/ directory.
This is suboptimal, because the way that plugins register changes
across wireshark releases. Therefore, let's keep the generated
file in the git, put the command line used to generate the file
into a comment and remove the script.
This solution allows us to put different registration mechanism
into one file (under #ifdef-s) and thus compile with wider range
of wireshark releases.

Similar to the libvirt.pot, .po files contain line numbers and file
names identifying where in the source a translatable string comes from.
The source locations in the .po files are thrown away and replaced with
content from the libvirt.pot whenever msgmerge is run, so this is not
precious information that needs to be stored in git.
When msgmerge processes a .po file, it will add in any msgids from the
libvirt.pot that were not already present. Thus, if a particular msgid
currently has no translation, it can be considered redundant and again
does not need storing in git.
When msgmerge processes a .po file and can't find an exact existing
translation match, it will try todo fuzzy matching instead, marking such
entries with a "# fuzzy" comment to alert the translator to take a
look and either discard, edit or accept the match. Looking at the
existing fuzzy matches in .po files shows that the quality is awful,
with many having a completely different set of printf format specifiers
between the msgid and fuzzy msgstr entry. Fortunately when msgfmt
generates the .gmo, the fuzzy entries are all ignored anyway. The fuzzy
entries could be useful to translators if they were working on the .po
files directly from git, but Libvirt outsourced translation to the
Fedora Zanata system, so keeping fuzzy matches in git is not much help.
Finally, by default msgids are sorted based on source location. Thus, if
a bit of code with translatable text is moved from one file to another,
it may shift around in the .po file, despite the msgid not itself changing.
If the msgids were sorted alphabetically, the .po files would have
stable ordering when code is refactored.
This patch takes advantage of the above observations to canonicalize
and minimize the content stored for .po files in git. Instead of storing
the real .po files, we now store .mini.po files.
The .mini.po files are the same file format as .po files, but have no
source location comments, are sorted alphabetically, and all fuzzy
msgstrs and msgids with no translation are discarded. This cuts the size
of content in the po directory from 109MB to 19MB.
Users working from a libvirt git checkout who need the full .po files
can run "make update-po", which merges the libvirt.pot and .mini.po
file to create a .po file containing all the content previously stored
in git.
Conversely if a full .po file has been modified, for example, by
downloading new content from Zanata, the .mini.po files can be updated
by running "make update-mini-po". The resulting diffs of the .mini.po
file will clearly show the changed translations without any of the noise
that previously obscured content. Being able to see content changes
clearly actually identified a bug in the zanata python client where it
was adding bogus "fuzzy" annotations to many messages:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1564497
Users working from libvirt releases should not see any difference in
behaviour, since the tarballs only contain the full .po files, not the
.mini.po files.
As an added benefit, generating tarballs with "make dist", will no
longer cause creation of dirty files in git, since it won't touch the
.mini.po files, only the .po files which are no longer kept in git.
To avoid creating a single commit 100+MB in size, each language is
minimized separately in a following commit.

Historically we have relied on autopoint/gettextize to install a
standard po/Makefile.in.in. There is very limited scope for customizing
this and it also causes a bunch of extra stuff to be pulled into
configure.ac which potentially clashes with gnulib. Writing make rules
for po file management is no more difficult than any other rules libvirt
has, so stop using autopoint/gettextize.

A long time ago we imported the keymaps.csv file from GTK-VNC so we
can do conversions between keycode sets. Meanwhile lots of bug fixes
have gone into this CSV file and libvirt hasn't kept in sync. The
keymaps.csv file and associated generator script has been pulled out
of GTK-VNC into a dedicated GIT repo for use as a submodule. This
allows GTK-VNC, SPICE-GTK, QEMU and libvirt to share the same master
database and tools and pushing updates merely requires a submodule
commit update as with gnulib.
The test suite is updated to cover some extra boundary conditions.

Currently, building the NEWS file involves using a XSLT stylesheet
to extract information from the same HTML file that's used on the
libvirt website.
The process works, but it's quite fiddly in that it requires the
source HTML to be formatted in a very precise way, and a single
missing newline can mess up the resulting plain text considerably.
Moreover, the XSLT stylesheet itself encodes a lot of the details
of converting to plain text in a way that's not necessarily easy
to understand, tweak or fix.
To improve the process, move all existing entries to a new XML
file that contains exactly the information we care about in a
simple structured format, and start generating both the HTML and
plain text versions of the release notes using XSLT stylesheets
that can now afford to be almost trivial.
Just like we are running 'virsh self-test' from within our test
suite, we should run 'virt-admin self-test' too.

A new hidden command for virsh that will iterate over
all command groups and commands and print help for every single one.
This involves running vshCmddefOptParse so we can get an error if

This allows us to produce releases that are roughly a third in
size, have no limitation on path length, and are still readable
by all supported platforms.
All the accesses to files outside our build or source directories
are now identified and appended into a file for later processing.
The location of the file that contains all the records can be
controlled via VIR_TEST_FILE_ACCESS env variable and defaults to
abs_builddir "/test_file_access.txt".

We shouldn't advertise libvirtd.socket activation, since currently

without one... or at least it did do that; presently on f24 it allows
activating the socket quite happily. This also caused user confusion[1]

This patch introduces virt-admin client which is based on virsh client,
but had to reimplement several methods to meet virt-admin specific needs
or remove unnecessary virsh specific logic.
As it turned out, we need to share some enums and declarations between
libvirt.h and libvirt-admin.h, but since our policy forbids direct includes of
libvirt*.h, there has to be some header exempt from this rule. This patch moves
the relevant part of code from libvirt.h.in to libvirt-common.h.in. Moreover,
since there is no need to have libvirt.h generated anymore, introduce a new
header libvirt.h which was previosly ignored from git and make the common
header ignored and generated instead.
Copy the virtlockd codebase across to form the initial virlogd
code. Simple search & replace of s/lock/log/ and gut the remote
protocol & dispatcher. This gives us a daemon that starts up
and listens for connections, but does nothing with them.

Introduce a Xen xl parser
This parser allows for users to convert the new xl disk format and
spice graphics config to libvirt xml format and vice versa. Regarding
the spice graphics config, the code is pretty much straight forward.
For the disk {formating, parsing}, this parser takes care of the new
xl format which include positional parameters and key/value parameters.
In xl format disk config a <diskspec> consists of parameters separated by
commas. If the parameters do not contain an '=' they are automatically
assigned to certain options following the order below
target, format, vdev, access
The above are the only mandatory parameters in the <diskspec> but there
are many more disk config options. These options can be specified as
key=value pairs. This takes care of the rest of the options such as
devtype, backend, backendtype, script, direct-io-safe,
The positional paramters can also be specified in key/value form
for example
/dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda
/dev/vg/guest-volume,raw,hda,rw
format=raw, vdev=hda, access=rw, target=/dev/vg/guest-volume
are interpleted to one config.
In xm format, the above diskspec would be written as
phy:/dev/vg/guest-volume,hda,w
The disk parser is based on the same parser used successfully by
the Xen project for several years now. Ian Jackson authored the
scanner, which is used by this commit with mimimal changes. Only
the PREFIX option is changed, to produce function and file names
more consistent with libvirt's convention.
