The first patch preserves file mode, UID, GID and SELinux context across edited files. The second patch adds a useful new command in guestfish ('llz') which shows SELinux context (like 'ls -laZ') that was useful when debugging this. Rich.

This is a further, more comprehensive fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788641 The guestfish 'edit' command (aka 'emacs', 'vi') suffered from the same problems as virt-edit and more. It could have failed and left a partially overwritten file, and it didn't preserve permissions etc from the original file. These three patches fix all this. The first

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.

These two patches make appliance building thread-safe. The first adds a test which easily demonstrates the problem. The second fixes the issue. For more information see Ian McLeod's analysis of the bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790528#c5 Rich.

These three patches (two were previously posted) can do simple operating system inspection in C. Example of use: ><fs> add-ro rhel55.img ><fs> run ><fs> inspect-os /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ><fs> inspect-get-type /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 linux ><fs> inspect-get-distro /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhel ><fs> inspect-get-arch

This is the same as the previous patch, but the partition type is now chosen automatically from mbr or gpt, unless the user expresses a preference. https://gb.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-January/msg00136.html Rich.

This adds most of the hivex APIs directly to the libguestfs API, so that you can read and write Windows Registry hive files from libguestfs without needing to download and upload hive files from the guest. This is analogous to how Augeas APIs are exposed already (guestfs_aug_*) Also, inspection is now done using the new APIs, which fixes the following bug:
