Daniel Henrique Barboza c19bb8c0cf qemu: command: move qemuBuildGraphicsSPICECommandLine validation to qemu_domain.c
Move the SPICE caps validation from qemuBuildGraphicsSPICECommandLine()
to a new function called qemuDomainDeviceDefValidateSPICEGraphics().
This function is called by qemuDomainDeviceDefValidateGraphics(),
which in turn is called by qemuDomainDefValidate(), validating the graphics
parameters in domain define time.

This validation move exposed a flaw in the 'default-video-type' tests
for PPC64, AARCH64 and s390 archs. The XML was considering 'spice' as
the default video type, which isn't true for those architectures.
This was flying under the radar until now because the SPICE validation
was being made in 'virsh start' time, while the XML validation done in
qemuxml2xmltest.c considers define time.

All other tests were adapted to consider SPICE validation in this
earlier stage.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:

https://libvirt.org

License

The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General Public License, version 2.0 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.

Installation

Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands, however, we mandate to have the build directory different than the source directory. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install

While to build & install as an unprivileged user

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install

The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.

Contributing

The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
