[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/3] Install QEMU-GA from oVirt guest tools ISO on Linux

This installs packages with QEMU Guest Agent when converting Linux machine. The
packages should be available on guest tools ISO. The patches work
"as-is" but
probably deserve some more attention:

- it is "abusing" Winows_virtio code but renaming/refactoring
everything to
  remove "windows" from the name and use "guest tools" seems
like a lot of
  unnecesary work

- support for Debian is missing
  I don't know how to install the package only when all it's
dependencies are
  already installed. dpkg cannot be used to check that (simulate the install).
  And attempting to install the package will leave it half-installed (dpkg
  cannot roll-back).

[Libguestfs] [PATCH 1/3] v2v: refactor copy_drivers() in Windows_virtio

Changed the function to be more generic and renamed to copy_files.
The only change in behavior is in produced debug messages.

I think it's better to put the copy_drivers function above the new
copy_files function, since the rest of this file is following a
top-to-bottom order.

This comment doesn't accurately describe what the function does, and I
don't think "copy_files" is a good name either (since it sounds
generic).  As far as I can tell [srcdir] is relative to the tools
directory/ISO, so ‘copy_files g inspect "/" ...’ is not copying
everything on the host, but copying every file in the tools
directory/ISO.

It's probably better to call this function something like
‘copy_from_virtio_win’, and update the comment above to make it
clearer what the options mean.

In the debug messages, let's keep the "windows: " prefix (also
applies
below).

In fact, not limited to local files, but is limited to guests which
use ‘yum’.  So I think the function needs a better name unless you're
planning to combine it with
customize/customize_run.ml:guest_install_command (which would be overkill).

Of course you could also inline do_install.

I see why we're using Windows_virtio, but ... it's surprising!

This definition should be above the (**/**) mark, since that mark
turns off ocamldoc and is used for undocumented functions such as the

In this case, better name it local_install/install_local (or something
along these lines) to make it more clear it is not a "classic
install".

Note that i_package_format and i_package_management are different
things.  The code above breaks when the system is RPM-based, but does
not use yum, so e.g. Fedora (supported), and ALT Linux (not supported).

So either use i_package_format with low-level package managers
(rpm/dpkg/etc), or use i_package_management with yum/dnf/etc.
