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.

Some of the examples make use of asprintf and strtol functions (to keep
things simple) which are prohibited to use within our code (enforced by
syntax-check). Therefore besides adding some examples, this patch also updates
cfg.mk to exclude examples directory from asprintf and strtol rules, as well as
updates .gitignore to exclude all the new admin binaries created in the
'examples' dir.

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
one of the command's option structure is invalid.
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".
The script that will process the access file is to be added in
next commit.

Since commit 9b77ce63f1 we create a .in file while building all
man pages, including those in the tools/ directory; update the
ignore patterns to take this change into account.
The new ignore patterns are generic enough that we can get rid of
a few existing ones as well.
This reverts commit 1e9808d3a1.
We shouldn't advertise libvirtd.socket activation, since currently
it means VM/network/... autostart won't work as expected.
We tried to find a middle ground by installing the config file without
an [Install] section, since systemd won't allow .socket to be enabled
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]
Just remove the socket file. I've filed a new RFE to track coming up
with a solution to the autostart problem[2], we can point users at that
if there's more confusion:

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.

You had only one job. That's what you can say about this example
binary. In future, parts of virsh that are usable for this binary
should be split into separate shell-utils and virt-admin should gain all
the cool features of virsh without too much code addition.

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.

There's this question on the list that is asked over and over again.
How do I get {cpu, memory, ...} usage in percentage? Or its modified
version: How do I plot nice graphs like virt-manager does?
It would be nice if we have an example to inspire people. And that's
what domtop should do. Yes, it could be written in different ways, but
I've chosen this one as I think it show explicitly what users need to
implement in order to imitate virt-manager's graphing.
Note: The usage is displayed from host perspective. That is, how much
host CPUs the domain is using. But it should be fairly simple to
switch do just guest CPU usage if needed.

This function aims at converting LXC configuration into a libvirt
domain XML description to help users migrate from LXC to libvirt.
Here is an example of how the lxc configuration works:
virsh -c lxc:/// domxml-from-native lxc-tools /var/lib/lxc/migrate_test/config
It is possible that some parts couldn't be properly mapped into a
domain XML fragment, so users should carefully review the result
before creating the domain.
fstab files in lxc.mount lines will need to be merged into the
configuration file as lxc.mount.entry.
As we can't know the amount of memory of the host, we have to set a
default value for max_balloon that users will probably want to adjust.
