This was a weird bit of logic that tries to be smart, but there isn't
a clear corrolation between DISPLAY being unset and whether the user
wants graphics or not.
Make the default consistent, some people may need to adjust to
--nographics
This streamlines virt-manager and virt-install implementations, requiring
installer.distro_detect to be called if we want distro detection. As
a side effect, we now get CDROM detection for free.
Confusingly real ARM hardware can have either PC-like 8250 devices,
which the Linux kernel calls /dev/ttyS0, or ARM-only PL011-based
/dev/ttyAMA0.
qemu can emulate either, but the default for `-M virt' is the PL011
so /dev/ttyAMA0.
Change the warning message so it uses ttyAMA0 instead.
since we work with python2 only, mentioning it in all shebangs make
the commands from git work even when python3 is set as default.
This also fixes one test where command being ran is 'virt-xml' through
subprocess.Popen().
While at that, add '-tt' where possible in order to make everyone use
same indentation characters.

This patch will enable configuring idmap.
It could be used as enable user namespace
for LXC containers.

We totally break CLI compat here, but the previous tool wasn't sustainable.
Instead, repurpose the tool as strictly converting external formats
like ovf/vmx to native libvirt XML, and launch the guest.
So we drop vmx/virt-image output, and virt-image input, and a slew of
command line options. I don't think anyone was depending on this in a
scripted fashion, so in practice I don't think anyone will care.
Add much more comprehensive unit tests while we are at it.
Since argparse allows optional arguments, we can back compat handle the
original boolean --sound option. This is nicer than using an option
named --soundhw
This stuff is not very helpful and a pain to maintain. Let's drop it once
and for all. We still accept the CLI options and log a warning so people
hopefully take the hint.
Can take name, description, uuid, and title (new). This deprecates the
separate --description and --uuid element, but we won't require it for
specifying a name with virt-install/virt-image since that's quite
overkill. Allowing --name with this option is mostly for the benefit
of virt-xml.
This adds:
VirtCLIArgument: a single foo=bar mapping
VirtOptionString: A collection of VirtCLIArguments, that parses the whole thing
VirtCLIParser: Represents a single cli option like --disk, --network, etc.
Centralizing this infrastructure opens up a lot of doors for future
improvements, like cli option introspection.
This could cause issues for people trying unattended non-graphical
kickstart installs and expecting ttyS0 in the guest to be hooked
up to the default console. So to get back the default behavior, you
can do:
--console pty
