I've created an "oldlinux" branch in github: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commits/oldlinux The idea of this branch is that it contains patches to make libguestfs work on older versions of Linux that: - *don't* have virtio-serial in qemu/kernel - have ancient autotools Specifically we're targ...

The "oldlinux" branch of the libguestfs git repo contains a version of libguestfs that works with 'old' versions of Linux. 'old' in this sense means 'RHEL 5'. https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/tree/oldlinux I have recently rebased the oldlinux branch on top of libguestfs gi...

Debian 5 w/o backports) that don't supply new enough qemu or kernel to run the main branch of libguestfs. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Gr...

RHEL 5 didn't have one, but it was added in RHEL 6. So for the branch of libguestfs we use on RHEL 5 ('oldlinux'[1]) I have reverted this patch[2]. Rich.

At least libpython2.7-dev and libpython3.3-dev on current Debian/unstable ship with pkg-config files.

HI, On a RHEL5 box, i tried to directly run guest which was issued by libguestfs virt-xxx commands as below. But after some minutes, it exited exceptionally. Does anyone also hit the issue or know the reason? #/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -global virtio-blk-pci.scsi=off -nodefconfig -nodefaults -nographic -drive file=ubuntu1204_64_20G_aliaegis_20140811.vhd,snapshot=on,if=virtio -drive

We don't support RHEL 5 upstream (see the 'oldlinux' branch for a version that works with RHEL 5). Therefore remove a bunch of hacks that were only needed on RHEL 5. --- appliance/packagelist.in | 2 - common-rules.mk | 8 - daemon/parted.c | 455 +++++++++++----------------------------- daemon/swap.c...

..., but at the same time have one of these calls. The xattr code (in general) is incredibly complex because of all these tests. I guess Mac OS X probably has none of them, and RHEL 5 / Ubuntu 10.10 probably had only some of them. We don't care about RHEL 5 since it now has its own branch ("oldlinux"), so the code might be made simpler by an accompanying patch which reduces all of the HAVE_*XATTR* macros down to a single one (HAVE_LINUX_XATTRS). > + ssize_t len, vlen, ret; > + CLEANUP_FREE char *buf = NULL, *attrval = NULL; > + size_t i, attrval_len = 0; > + > + CHROOT...
