fixing whitespace in ui.xml files
by Greg Sheremeta 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Hi, Can we agree to use the same .java file space standards in our gwt ui.xml files? Specifically: spaces only, no tabs, 4 spaces indent, no trailing whitespace. I have my Eclipse set to fix these things (with the anyedit plugin), and the ui.xml files always have tabs and trailing space in them. If we agree, I volunteer to fix them all and post a patch. I think we can also set gerrit to point these out. Thanks, Greg Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc. Sr. Software Engineer, RHEV Cell: 919-807-1086 gshereme(a)redhat.com

new build parameter for GWT CSS debugging
by Greg Sheremeta 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hi, We added a new build parameter called gwt.cssResourceStyle that can tell the GWT compiler to not obfuscate the names of CSS classes in its output. This is tremendously helpful when debugging CSS issues. In Firebug or similar, you'll see '<div class="GL1HI05BCHD-org-ovirt-engine-ui-common-widget-table-SimpleActionTable_WidgetUiBinderImpl_GenCss_style-headerContainer" ...' instead of just '<div class="GL1HI05BKOD" ...'. so you can see that you need to look for 'headerContainer' to modify this div. To use the new option, pass '-Dgwt.cssResourceStyle=pretty' to DEV_EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS_GWT_DEFAULTS. I use a bash alias like so: alias ovirt_build='make clean install-dev PREFIX=$HOME/ovirt-engine DEV_EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS_GWT_DEFAULTS=" -Dgwt.cssResourceStyle=pretty -Dgwt.userAgent=gecko1_8,safari"' gwt.cssResourceStyle will default to the GWT default, obf ('obfuscated'), if you don't include this extra parameter. Enjoy. Greg Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc. Sr. Software Engineer, RHEV Cell: 919-807-1086 gshereme(a)redhat.com

3.5 Time-frame: pushing feature freeze
by Doron Fediuck 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hi, The current date for feature freeze is May 30. Based on today's weekly sync[1], it seems that most teams require additional 2 weeks to conclude current work. Therefore I suggest to set an updated FF milestone for June 15. If you need more time or think we should not change the current date please respond. Thanks, Doron [1] http://ovirt.org/meetings/ovirt/2014/ovirt.2014-05-28-14.01.txt

[vdsm] VM volume chain information in getVMList API
by Adam Litke 29 May '14

29 May '14

For Live Merge, engine needs a way to get a list of volume UUIDs that comprise the volume chain for a given VM disk. Initially, we created a new verb getVolumeChain(vm, driveSpec) that would return a list of VM uuids. In the interest of preventing API bloat I would prefer to use the 'volumeChain' list in VmDiskDevice which is retrieved from the getVMList public API. Federico mentioned that this info may have been exposed by accident at one point and I agree that things like volume paths should not be used and should possibly be removed from this structure. That being said, we have a real use case for using the volume UUIDs and that should be quite safe. Do you agree with my assessment or should I continue with the getVolumeChain verb which does nothing more than: return [x['volumeID'] for x in vmDrive['volumeChain']] -- Adam Litke
