Libguestfs - Jun 2012 - ANNOUNCE: libguestfs 1.19 (development version) is available in EPEL 5

EPEL ("Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux") is an additional
repository you can use to add packages to RHEL and derivatives.

Modern libguestfs (1.19.xx) is now available in EPEL 5 updates-testing:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=327975
  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.19.13-4.el5

It is VERY important that you read the release notes BEFORE trying
this package:

 
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libguestfs.git;a=blob;f=README.EPEL-5;hb=refs/heads/el5

You can follow or join in upstream development of this package in the
"oldlinux" branch in git:

  https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commits/oldlinux

I suspect this branch may be applicable to other distros (eg. Debian 5
w/o backports) that don't supply new enough qemu or kernel to run the
main branch of libguestfs.
