[Libguestfs] ANNOUNCE: 'febootstrap' is now called 'supermin'
Because of the confusion generated by calling something 'febootstrap' which didn't have anything to do with Fedora and didn't generate bootstrap filesystems, I have renamed 'febootstrap' as 'supermin'. I also bumped the version number up to 4.1.0. New home page: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/supermin/ Downloads: http://libguestfs.org/download/supermin/ Git repo: https://github.com/libguestfs/supermin At present this probably breaks a few things, but I'll fix them as I go along. Also this will require new Fedora and (?)Debian packages. libguestfs will be able to use either febootstrap 3.21 or supermin 4.x, at least for a while. If we add major new features into supermin, then it might be that febootstrap can no longer be used, but I don't see that happening soon.

[Libguestfs] ANNOUNCE: 'febootstrap' is now called 'supermin'
The following commit (to libguestfs) adds support for 'supermin': https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/a0a4ee5245afdb7961d39b243439b902229dd599 Note that 'febootstrap' is still supported after this commit, but ./configure should choose 'supermin' over 'febootstrap' if both are installed. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc. http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-top
