[pve-devel] [RFC PATCH qemu-server v2 0/5] Initial support for OVF imports

[Emmanuel Kasper]

This patch serie adds initial support for creating VMs from OVF
manifests, adding a new command with the following synthax

qm ovfimport -manifest path_to_manifest.ovf {vmid}

For the momment we only parse VM name, cores count and 
memory.

For testing one can use the Windows IE Edge test VMWare machine from
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

Changes since V1:
 * rename command from 'ovfcreate' to 'ovfimport'
 * display a warning on stderr when the parameter could not be parsed
 * parse virtual disk size
 * add OVF manifests and a test script in /test directory

Emmanuel Kasper (5):
  Force overwriting existing compressed man pages and symbolic links
  Add depency to libxml-simple-perl
  Initial parsing of OVF files
  Add a new command line option 'ovfimport', to create VMs from an OVF
    manifest
  Add tests for ovfimport function
