similar to: [PATCH] fish: Fix glob command (RHBZ#635969).

This patch set fixes a two year old bug in guestfish, namely that the 'glob' command does not expand /dev/* patterns. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635971 Rich.

This patchset just fixes the 'hexdump' command as an example. The important part of the patch is #2 since that shows the approach I want to take to fix this.

Do not pass GLOB_MARK as flag for glob(3) in the daemon implementation of glob, so names of directories will not have a trailing slash. This allows users to have filenames that can be used with other tools, such as rm. Add a new test to check this (based on RHBZ#1293271). A mild behaviour change is that users of the glob API now need to append the slash when building paths using its results.

The development branch (1.5) contains some major performance improvements over the current stable branch (1.4). Furthermore nearly 3 months have passed since we branched 1.4, which is about the same time that separated 1.4 from 1.2. Thus I think around the first or second week of October we ought to start the new stable and development branches (1.6 and 1.7 resp.) At this time we should decide

As outlined here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/msg00171.html These patches fix some of the simpler things. Some of the things (the missing headers) are genuine bugs. Note in order to cross-compile at all you have to comment out the section in the daemon/configure.ac where it detects custom format specifiers. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

Couple of notes: (1) You may need to 'make clean' after applying this patch. There is some missing dep so it seems the appliance isn't fully rebuilt. (2) [Comment mainly directed to Matt] This is not a candidate to be automatically added to the stable 1.2 branch. It's far too large of a change for a stable release.

The two patches attached allow 9p filesystems to be mounted and listed. Note that I did *not* test the new list-9p function, because I don't have a guest with a new enough kernel handy. 9p filesystems are not included in the output of list-filesystems. Because a lot of existing code feeds the output of list-filesystems directly into the input of mount-options, mount-ro or (even worse) plain
