Introduce a bunch of new public APIs related to backup checkpoints.
Checkpoints are modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both
represent a point in time of the guest), although a snapshot exists
with the intent of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint
exists to make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time. We may have a future hypervisor that can completely manage
checkpoints without libvirt metadata, but the first two planned
hypervisors (qemu and test) both always use libvirt for tracking
metadata relations between checkpoints, so for now, I've deferred
the counterpart of virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata for a separate
API addition at a later date if there is ever a need for it.
Note that until we allow snapshots and checkpoints to exist
simultaneously on the same domain (although the actual prevention of
this will be in a separate patch for the sake of an easier revert down
the road), that it is not possible to branch out to create more than
one checkpoint child to a given parent, although it may become
possible later when we revert to a snapshot that coincides with a
checkpoint. This also means that for now, the decision of which
checkpoint becomes the parent of a newly created one is the only
checkpoint with no child (so while there are APIs for dealing with a
current snapshot, we do not need those for checkpoints). We may end
up exposing a notion of a current checkpoint later, but it's easier to
add stuff when proven needed than to blindly support it now and wish
we hadn't exposed it.
The following map shows the API relations to snapshots, with new APIs
on the right:
Operate on a domain object to create/redefine a child:
virDomainSnapshotCreateXML virDomainCheckpointCreateXML
Operate on a child object for lifetime management:
virDomainSnapshotDelete virDomainCheckpointDelete
virDomainSnapshotFree virDomainCheckpointFree
virDomainSnapshotRef virDomainCheckpointRef
Operate on a child object to learn more about it:
virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc virDomainCheckpointGetXMLDesc
virDomainSnapshotGetConnect virDomainCheckpointGetConnect
virDomainSnapshotGetDomain virDomainCheckpointGetDomain
virDomainSnapshotGetName virDomainCheckpiontGetName
virDomainSnapshotGetParent virDomainCheckpiontGetParent
virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata (deferred for later)
virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent (no counterpart, see note above)
Operate on a domain object to list all children:
virDomainSnapshotNum (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListNames racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllSnapshots virDomainListAllCheckpoints
Operate on a child object to list descendents:
virDomainSnapshotNumChildren (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren virDomainCheckpointListAllChildren
Operate on a domain to locate a particular child:
virDomainSnapshotLookupByName virDomainCheckpointLookupByName
virDomainSnapshotCurrent (no counterpart, see note above)
virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot (no counterpart, old racy interface)
Operate on a snapshot to roll back to earlier state:
virDomainSnapshotRevert (no counterpart, instead checkpoints
are used in incremental backups via
XML to virDomainBackupBegin)

At the moment we allow the user to specify exactly where
they want the HTML documentation to be installed with an
extreme level of precision through the --with-html-dir and
--with-html-subdir configure options.
Most of the time, of course, the user will stick with the
default, that is $(datadir)/doc/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)/html.
So close to $(docdir)! Including the version number in
the path, specifically, seems entirely unnecessary since
different releases of libvirt are not going to be able to
coexist on the same system anyway.

The HTML pages are currently validated against an XHTML 1.0 DTD.
This makes it impossible to take advantage of features that are
introduced in HTML 5, because they'll fail validation.
There is intentionally no DTD defined for HTML 5, so there's no
alternative to XHTML 1.0 DTD that we could switch to. The only
options are to stick with XHTML 1.0 forever, or drop the DTD
validation, and we pick the latter.

Despite being a generated file, HACKING has been tracked in
the git repository along with actual source files. As far as
I'm aware, it's the only generated file for which that happens.
Times and times again, people[1] have committed changes to
the source file without refreshing the generated copy at the
same time.
The rationale for tracking the generated file is to help out
people who just cloned the git repository looking to contribue;
however, README-hacking already contains enough information to
get perspective contributors to a place where they can simply
look at docs/hacking.html instead.

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.
When changing one of the src/libvirt-*.c files to alter the docs, the
adjusted files weren't being built. Added them into APIBUILD_STAMP and
then added that to the html/index.html rule which is used for the

Since commit d195cffa2e, both $(srcdir) and $(abs_builddir)
are passed to the apibuild.py script; however, since the
former is a relative path and the latter an absolute one, the
script might not be able to detect whether they point to the
same location.
Pass both as relative paths to avoid the issue.
libvirt-common.h is generated into builddir/include/libvirt. apibuild.py
only operated on srcdir/inlcude/libvirt. With VPATH build
srcdir/docs/libvirt-libvirt-common.html would not get generated and make
RPM failed.
Since commit f5d9c5d00c moved the virTypedParam stuff into
libvirt-common we did not generate any docs for them and neither did we
populate them into libvirt-api.xml. This broke the sanity check in
libvirt python. Fix it by generating docs for libvirt-common.h too.

When generating docs in a VPATH build we get a failure to

For some reason, make has decided to run the target
%.html.tmp: %.html.in site.xsl page.xsl sitemap.html.in $(acl_generated)
instead of the target
internals/%.html.tmp: internals/%.html.in subsite.xsl page.xsl sitemap.html.in

causes make to now run the correct target for the internals/

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.
This reverts commit e5470dd0e0.
This has been ACK'd by the original author in the original mail thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-September/msg00310.html
