I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.5.0, is now available for download
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/sandbox/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) The libvirt-sandbox package provides an API layer on top of libvirt-gobject which facilitates the cration of application sandboxes using virtualization technology. An application sandbox is a virtual machine or container that runs a single application binary, directly from the host OS filesystem. In other words there is no separate guest operating system install to build or manager. At this point in time libvirt-sandbox can create sandboxes using either LXC or KVM, and should in theory be extendable to any libvirt driver. This release has focused entirely on improving the virt-sandbox-service tool This release focused on major feature development. Changed in this release: - Switch to use persistent libvirt configuration files for service sandboxes - Store service configs in /etc/libvirt-sandbox/services/$NAME/ instead of /etc/libvirt-sandbox/services/$NAME.sandbox to allow storage of multiple files per sandbox - Add a new 'virt-sandbox-service upgrade NAME' command, to be run by admin for all existing service sandboxes to upgrade their configuration to be compatible with the new release - Remove start, stop, list commands from virt-sandbox-service, with recomendation to use start, destroy & list commands in virsh instead. - Remove duplicate -u option in man page - Update man page examples - Stop generating a UNIT_sandbox.target unit, instead letting the sandbox unit tie into multi-user.target as normal - Remove unimplemented APIs for graphical sandboxes, to be re-added at a later date when actually functional - Add padding to public structs, to facilitate preservation of public ABI compatibility in future - Add note about default libvirt URIs in man page - Fix cloning of sandboxes Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
