updated package,

hi daniel
    saw the latest libvirt-cim on brew already is libvirt-cim-0.5.8-2, should I use the latest one to do the testing or still use libvirt-cim-0.5.8-1?

Thanks and Regards

hi daniel

   there is no RHEL5.5-Server on ia64, and no RHEL5.5-Client on x86_64, so there is no need to test on these two platform?

As a result, I think libvirt-cim need respin. the following text will give an explaination.

with libvirt-cim-0.5.8-2.el5, and libcmpiutil-0.5-1.el5 installed. the testing result is not reasonable, about 55 cases passed, and the others failed with throwing the error messages like following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
VSSD - 05_set_uuid.py: FAIL
ERROR 	- Got CIM error CIM_ERR_FAILED: Unable to parse embedded object with return code 1
ERROR 	- Failed to define the dom: uuid_domain
InvokeMethod(DefineSystem): CIM_ERR_FAILED: Unable to parse embedded object
--------------------------------------------------------------------

the whole testing result is in attachment "rpm-install.run_reports.txt"

Then I tried to get the latest libvirt-cim and libcmpiutil(libvirt-cim-snapshot.tar.gz, libcmpiutil-snapshot.tar.gz, both are of date "01/07/2010"). And installed them following the instructions listed in "install from source" section of http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Libvirt-cim_setup, then the testing result seems good. see attachment "source-install.run_reports.txt".

So I tied to find out what make the problem, and it seems that I got. :)

== The steps to discover the problem of libvirt-cim-0.5.8-2 ==
1. in libvirt-cim.spec. modify the "post" section like so: (let the instruction and
execution result display on the terminal but not dicarded)
# Register MOFs

set -x
%{_datadir}/%{name}/provider-register.sh -t pegasus \
        -n root/virt \
        -r %{REGISTRATION} -m %{SCHEMA} #>/dev/null 2>&1 || true
%{_datadir}/%{name}/provider-register.sh -t pegasus \ 
        -n root/interop \
        -r %{INTEROP_REG} -m %{INTEROP_MOF} -v #>/dev/null 2>&1 || true
%{_datadir}/%{name}/provider-register.sh -t pegasus \
        -n root/PG_InterOp \
        -r %{PGINTEROP_REG} -m %{PGINTEROP_MOF} -v #>/dev/null 2>&1 || true
%{_datadir}/%{name}/provider-register.sh -t pegasus \
        -n root/cimv2\
        -r %{CIMV2_REG} -m %{CIMV2_MOF} -v #>/dev/null 2>&1 || true


2. rebuild the rpm
# rpmbuild -ba --define 'dist .el5' libvirt-cim.spec

3. erase the older libvirt-cim
# rpm -e libvirt-cim

4. install the newer libvirt-cim, and record the stdout, stderr to "rpm-postinstall.out"
# rpm -ivh libvirt-cim-0.5.8-2.el5.x86_64.rpm 2>&1 | tee -a rpm-postinstall.out

In rpm-postinstall.out(see the attachment), you will see an error happened when registering the schema and mof in "root/virt" namespace. This error seems causing all the others schema and mof not registered. the error is:
Parsing error: parse error: Error adding class Xen_DiskResourceAllocationSettingData to the repository: CIM_ERR_INVALID_SUPERCLASS: Xen_ResourceAllocationSettingData

And the registering of other namespace works well.

And actually, we can also record the output of "make postinstall" when install from source.

   # make postinstall 2>&1 | tee -a "source-postinstall.out"

You will see no error happened. (see the attachment for source-postinstall.out).


PS: Is it good to hide the output in "post" section of "libvirt-cim.spec"? 
The installation looks good, but actually it has errors. I think it will make the user confused.
