[Libguestfs] Plan for libguestfs 1.30

[Richard W.M. Jones]

It has been a ludicrously long time (over 8 months) since the last
stable release of libguestfs.  So I'd like to plan a new 1.30 release
soon.

Please follow-up if there are features / blockers / bugs that need to
be addressed for 1.30.

As usual, bugs which have "1.30" (without quotes) in the Devel
Whiteboard field in Bugzilla are nominated as blockers for the
release.  You can see a list of those here [currently empty]:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=MODIFIED&bug_status=ON_DEV&bug_status=ON_QA&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=FAILS_QA&bug_status=RELEASE_PENDING&bug_status=POST&bug_status=PASSES_QA&component=libguestfs&field0-0-0=cf_devel_whiteboard&list_id=2137003&product=Virtualization%20Tools&query_format=advanced&type0-0-0=anywords&value0-0-0=1.30

For a list of all bugs, go to:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=libguestfs&product=Virtualization+Tools

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's also worth talking about what I'd like to do *after* 1.30 is out.

This includes:

 - threading support
   https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-June/thread.html#00118

 - external tests
   https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-October/thread.html#00042

While thread safety is oft talked about, it's external tests which I
consider to be the more important patch series, since it will allow us
to build and test libguestfs more easily and more comprehensively for
Fedora and RHEL.  Unfortunately it's the most difficult and invasive
change of the two.

You may have your own ideas, if so follow up here.

Rich.
