[Libguestfs] ANNOUNCE: RHEL 6.4 preview packages available
As some may remember, in the run-up to RHEL 6.3 I made a yum repository available of libguestfs and other packages. It's time for the same thing for RHEL 6.4. These packages should work on RHEL 6.3, CentOS 6.3 and other RHEL 6 derivatives (although I've only tried them on RHEL 6.3). A source RPM is also supplied in case you want to try rebuilding the package. To use the repo, run the following command as root: cat >/etc/yum.repos.d/libguestfs-RHEL-6.4-preview.repo <<EOF [libguestfs-RHEL-6.4-preview] name=libguestfs RHEL 6.4 preview - x86_64 baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-6.4-preview/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 EOF Then: yum install '*guestf*' Running 'libguestfs-test-tool' after this is a good way to test if things are generally working or not. If you want to try a more thorough set of tests, then see: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-testing.1.html To go back to the supported packages, uninstall libguestfs, remove the file /etc/yum.repos.d/libguestfs-RHEL-6.4-preview.repo and install libguestfs from the usual place. If you find bugs, please let me know, or file them in Bugzilla. For a list of known bugs in libguestfs on RHEL 6, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=libguestfs&product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%206 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora
