[Libguestfs] [PATCH 3/4] firstboot: make script naming descriptive

Roman Kagan rkagan at parallels.com
Fri Feb 27 12:20:17 UTC 2015


The firstboot infrastructure used to give the firstboot scripts some
cryptic names which were impossible to relate to the actions they were
supposed to take.

This patch reworks the scheme such that the caller registering a
firstboot script has to provide a descriptive name for the action.  That
name, with non-alphanumeric characters replaced with dashes, prefixed by
the serial number, is then used as the name of the script, e.g.

  0004-install-gcc

or

  0002-msiexec--i-foo-msi.bat

OTOH the numbering becomes internal to the API, i.e. the scripts are
numbered and executed in the order they are registered.

This greatly facilitates debugging and troubleshooting in case when
there are multiple firstboot scripts.
