similar to: [PATCH] examples/to-xml.c: Don't depend on Gnulib function.

The more I look at this patch, the less I like it. I would summarise why I think it's wrong here, but it's better if you look at the message I posted on the gnulib mailing list here first: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-11/msg00434.html Directly accessing errno on Windows is wrong: you won't see the true reasons for an error by doing that. However depending on

These two patches implement the first (and hardest) part of the fix for CVE-2010-3851. This adds a way to specify the format when adding a drive, avoiding qemu's auto-detection. In order to avoid an explosion of different add_drive_* functions (we have 4 already), we have implemented a way to specify optional arguments to functions, so all we need is a single new 'add_drive_opts'

This is a set of bugfixes and enhancements to allow virt-resize to really expand Linux and Windows guests. Previously there were lots of bugs. This version has been tested on a variety of guests successfully. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.

This is the third version of the FUSE bindings for libguestfs. Still, read and write calls don't work, but you can now navigate through the filesystem hierarchy efficiently. Rich. .gitignore | 3 + HACKING | 3 + Makefile.am | 5 + README | 2 + TODO | 37 +-- bindtests | 13 + bootstrap | 2 +

This short patch series fixes various problems with the Java bindings, including enabling support for functions that return hash tables (returned as Map<String,String>). With this, the Java bindings are improved although still not perfect. The last remaining issue is to implement support for functions that take optional arguments.

This patch series implements user cancellation. What this means is that the "user" (or any library caller) can cancel certain long-running operations. Currently it is only possible to cancel upload and download operations (ie. anything in the generator which uses FileIn and FileOut). The mechanism in the protocol to implement cancellation already exists, and it is already used to

These patches are a distillation of the good patches from the previous large / for-discussion-only error handling patch.

This call wraps up some functionality of blkid so you can get the Linux VFS driver for a mounted filesystem.

This patch series adds support for outputing an ext2-based appliance from febootstrap-supermin-helper. The usage is very simple, you just add '-f ext2' flag and the name of the appliance file that you want to write to. The implementation uses libext2fs, which is a very low level way to create ext2 filesystems from scratch. We'd like to use libguestfs, but that's an obvious

Hello-- I've been trying to build libguestfs 1.2.14 with the appliance enabled on an older type of system at my company. Getting all the required dependencies installed has been an arduous process, but I've finally hit an obstacle I don't know how to get around. The final output of "make": + febootstrap-run initramfs -- /sbin/depmod -a ABOUT-NLS BUGS COPYING COPYING.LIB

This patch series starts by tidying up the code for the virt-cat, virt-df, virt-edit, etc tools, moving them into a single directory and making the build system much simpler as a consequence. Then we add two new tools, virt-tar (a general purpose archive and upload tool) and virt-ls (for listing directories). No new functionality is enabled by these tools -- that is to say, you can do everything

There seems to be a problem with EPEL repo libguestfs-1.0.85-1.el5.5 rpm (x86_64) - for example it is very slow with VM filesystem copy as it does not make use of KVM acceleration (running plain qemu). > Running

The current guestfs_find API call contains an undocumented limit: It needs to marshall the whole list of filenames into a single protocol message. Unfortunately just about any Linux guest breaks this limit if you try 'guestfs_find ("/")' so this isn't much use. These patches add a new API call (find0) which breaks this limit by using a FileOut parameter. It's slightly

So I got a lot further building libguestfs on Ubuntu, up to the point where I can boot the appliance and run some simple commands. We need to push some patches upstream, and there are still some things in Ubuntu itself which are broken. This documents how far I've got. (1) libguestfs from git, Ubuntu 9.10, all updated to the latest versions. You will of course also need to read the README

NOTE: This is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and can eat babies ... Modify the guest libvirt XML to add the virtio-serial channel: <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/tmp/socket'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.libguestfs.channel.0'/> </channel> In the guest, compile guestfsd and run it like this: sudo
