[libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/8] xml: Add element <title> to allow short description of domains

Peter Krempa pkrempa at redhat.com
Wed Jan 18 14:23:58 UTC 2012


This patch adds a new element <title> to the domain XML. This attribute
can hold a short title defined by the user to ease the identification of
domains. The title is limited to 40 bytes and can't contain newlines.

 *docs/formatdomain.html.in
 *docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng
        - add schema grammar for the new element and documentation

  *src/conf/domain_conf.c
  *src/conf/domain_conf.h
        - add field to hold the new attribute
        - add code to parse and create XML with the new attribute
---
Changes to v1:
 - use a new element <title> in the XML instead of attribute to domain
 - Tweaked commit message
 - Tweaked docs
 - Added restrictions into the RNG grammar for the new element
 - Added tests! (hopefuly right)
