1ce159c1c9 Web placeholder for pending patches on the web site
This is based on recent developments on patch checker and the
goal is to keep a list of pending patches needing review on the
project web site. The page template in git just holds a pointer
to the web page.

683e011137 Revert "Refactor the libvirt RPM daemon pieces"
This reverts commit 06a0d57f5a.

06a0d57f5a Refactor the libvirt RPM daemon pieces
There are a number of flaws with our packaging of the libvirtd
daemon:

 - Installing 'libvirt' does not install 'qemu-kvm' or 'xen'
   etc which are required to actually run the hypervisor in
   question
 - Installing 'libvirt' pulls in the default configuration
   files which may not be wanted & cause problems if installed
   inside a guest
 - It is not possible to explicitly required all the peices
   required to manage a specific hypervisor

This change takes the 'libvirt' RPM and and changes it thus

 - libvirt: just a virtual package with dep on libvirt-daemon,
   libvirt-daemon-config-network & libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter
 - libvirt-daemon: the libvirt daemon and related pieces
 - libvirt-daemon-config-network: the default network config
 - libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter: the network filter configs
 - libvirt-docs: the website HTML

We then introduce some more virtual (empty) packages

 - libvirt-daemon-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu'
 - libvirt-daemon-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'qemu-kvm'
 - libvirt-daemon-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon
 - libvirt-daemon-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon
 - libvirt-daemon-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon & 'xen'

 - libvirt-qemu: Deps on libvirt-daemon-qemu & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-kvm: Deps on libvirt-daemon-kvm & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-lxc: Deps on libvirt-daemon-lxc & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-uml: Deps on libvirt-daemon-uml & libvirt-daemon-config-{network,nwfilter}
 - libvirt-xen: Deps on libvirt-daemon-xen & libvirt-daemon-config-network

My intent in the future is to turn on the driver modules by
default, at which time 'libvirt-daemon' will cease to include
any specific drivers, instead we'll get libvirt-daemon-driver-XXXX
packages for each driver. The libvirt-daemon-XXX packages will
then pull in each driver that they require.

It is recommended that applications required a locally installed
libvirtd daemon, use either 'Requires: libvirt-daemon-XXXX' or
'Requires: libvirt-XXX' and *not* "Requires: libvirt-daemon"
or 'Requires: libvirt'

4591df766d Remove the Open Nebula driver
The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.

Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.

The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.

Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

* configure.ac: Remove probe for xmlrpc & --with-one arg
* daemon/Makefile.am, daemon/libvirtd.c, src/Makefile.am: Remove
  ONE driver build
* src/opennebula/one_client.c, src/opennebula/one_client.h,
  src/opennebula/one_conf.c, src/opennebula/one_conf.h,
  src/opennebula/one_driver.c, src/opennebula/one_driver.c: Delete
  files
* autobuild.sh, libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Remove
  build rules for Open Nebula
* docs/drivers.html.in, docs/sitemap.html.in: Remove reference
  to OpenNebula
* docs/drvone.html.in: Delete file

1938bc69a7 Add automatic generation of a todo item page
This adds a script to generate the todo item page from
bugzilla. This requires a valid username+password for
bugzilla, so it is intended that this only be run on
the libvirt.org website via cron. Normal usage will just
generate an empty stub page.

7ebe214942 docs: add the app dev guide
Added a workable initial page for the libvirt Application
Development Guide, giving the online viewable options +
the available download ones (pdf, epub, srpm).

Added a link to the PDF to the main Downloads page, plus
neatened the html tags throughout the page as they
were a bit of a mess.

Added --enable-compile-warnings=error to the autogen line,
as suggested by Eric Blake.

05b9b8fda3 Add volume encryption information handling.
Define an <encryption> tag specifying volume encryption format and
format-depenedent parameters (e.g. passphrase, cipher name, key
length, key).

Currently the only defined parameter is a reference to a "secret"
(passphrase/key) managed using the virSecret* API.

Only the qcow/qcow2 encryption format, and a "default" format used to
let libvirt choose the format during volume creation, is currently
supported.

This patch does not add any users; the <encryption> tag is added in
the following patches to both volumes (to support encrypted volume
creation) and domains.

* docs/*.html: Re-generate
* docs/formatstorageencryption.html.in, docs/sitemap.html.in:
  Add page describing storage encryption data format
* docs/schemas/Makefile.am, docs/schemas/storageencryption.rng:
  Add RNG schema for storage encryption format
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/storage_encryption_conf.c
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virStorageEncryption* functions
* src/storage_encryption_conf.h, src/storage_encryption_conf.c: Internal
  helper APIs for dealing with storage encryption format
* libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Add storageencryption.rng
  RNG schema
