The logging functions are enhanced so that immediately prior to the first log message being printed to any output channel, the libvirt package version will be printed. eg $ LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh 18:13:28.013: 17536: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7 18:13:28.013: 17536: debug : virInitialize:361 : register drivers ... The 'configure' script gains two new arguments which can be used as --with-packager="Fedora Project, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org, 01-27-2011-18:00:10" --with-packager-version="1.fc14" to allow distros to append a custom string with package specific data. The RPM specfile is modified so that it appends the RPM version, the build host, the build date and the packager name. eg $ LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh 18:14:52.086: 17551: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7, package: 1.fc13 (Fedora Project, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org, 01-27-2011-18:00:10) 18:14:52.086: 17551: debug : virInitialize:361 : register drivers Thus when distro packagers receive bug reports they can clearly see what version was in use, even if the bug reporter mistakenly or intentionally lies about version/builds * src/util/logging.c: Output version data prior to first log message * libvirt.spec.in: Include RPM release, date, hostname & packager * configure.ac: Add --with-packager & --with-packager-version args
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
