[virt-tools-list] [virt-viewer v2 0/6] Ovirt foreign menu support

[Christophe Fergeau]

This is the second version of the ovirt foreign menu patch series which was
first sent as
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2014-April/msg00110.html

It took longer than expected as I found several issues when addressing the
review comments (in particular, it turned out the .vv code path was totally
untested, and thus buggy). I also tested this against oVirt 3.4, and had to
make some adjustment to take into account some small bugs in the REST API.
I did not keep track of all the changes I made, so no list of changes since v1 :(


Initial cover letter:

In oVirt, after switching from starting remote-viewer through the Spice-XPI
plugin to starting remote-viewer by downloading a .vv file, the oVirt portal
lost the ability to specify a so-called 'foreign menu' which remote-viewer
would display in its UI.

This patch series readds this support when using .vv files, though it does
it differently. Rather than letting the oVirt portal specify an arbitrary
menu, this series teaches remote-viewer to use the oVirt REST API to
create a predefined menu similar to the foreign menu. Currently, this
menu will only list the ISOs available in oVirt for insertion in the
VM CDRom.

This patch to librest https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708359 
is needed for this support to work, and due to small bugs in oVirt REST
API, using oVirt 3.4 is recommended. oVirt will need to be modified to
fill the necessary parameters in its .vv file for this to work from the
oVirt portal, but this can already be tested with a direct ovirt://
connection.
