similar to: [PATCH] Protocol changes to support upload progress messages and optional arguments.

This requires changing the generator so it can handle passing optional arguments all thr way through to the daemon, changing the protocol (see previous patch set), and implementing the new mkfs-opts call. At the moment there is just an optional blocksize argument, thus mimicking what you can already do with 'mkfs-b'. But this change will allow us in future to encode much of the rest of

I've ported the supermin appliance capabilities from libguestfs into febootstrap >= 2.5: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=febootstrap.git;a=commit;h=76b7711268a6b0c0929952ee261821825589a165 Once that has rolled out into Fedora (in about 2 weeks) I will remove the code from libguestfs and just have it use febootstrap. There should be no visible changes, but developers will need to upgrade to

Patches 1-6 are general code quality improvements. Note that Guido previously asked us for the ability to build libguestfs without building the appliance. Patches 7-10 are specific to Mac OS X, but shouldn't break the build for existing platforms.

Inspired by but not completely related to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664558 "RFE: Allow to set log callback in Ruby bindings" How can we make callbacks useful? First off what are we talking about? There are several callbacks that can be registered through the C API: (a) error callback http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_set_error_handler (b) out

I had a go at writing a patch, but I think it's possible already without any patch. After launch you can get the PID of the qemu subprocess: guestfs_get_pid (g); --> returns PID You can use Linux to map this to a list of thread IDs: ls /proc/$PID/task/ --> returns a list of thread IDs [Yes, this is potentially racy, but in reality qemu has already started up fully after

Not quite sure what happened to the waitpid()s which were along that path, but at some point they seem to have got deleted. This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518747 I haven't been able to run the tests yet however, because currently Rawhide is broken (ntfsprogs has missing dependencies).

As proposed earlier: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-April/msg00005.html I have created libguestfs 1.2 stable series and 1.3 development series. I have released tarballs for libguestfs 1.2.0 and 1.3.0. These are exactly the same as version 1.0.89 (I didn't even change the version number inside them). http://libguestfs.org/download/?C=M;O=D This is just to get things

I'm pleased to announce the release of libguestfs 1.0.78. Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images.

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 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

Whenever config.status / configure runs it touches appliance/make.sh (even if the file hasn't changed) and that causes the appliance to be rebuilt completely. This patch breaks that dependency because building the appliance is time-consuming (since dracut was added) so we should try not to build it each time.

This patch is meant for discussion of the issues involved. I'd like to change the default for guestfish -a / -m command line options to open read-only. This creates less opportunity to corrupt disk images by opening them for write while another VM might be using them. With this patch you can specify: guestfish --rw ... which in itself does nothing since the default is currently

RHEL 5's old parted didn't have the -m option. A number of commands relied on this option and thus would break on RHEL 5: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598309 This rather large patch adds a second parsing path which allows us to parse the old text-based output (it preserves the code for parsing the output of the -m option too, since if supported, that is more accurate).

Recently we changed the daemon so it builds guestfs_protocol.o by this rule: $(libsrcdir)/guestfs_protocol.o: force $(MAKE) -C $(libsrcdir) guestfs_protocol.o guestfsd_LDADD = \ $(libsrcdir)/guestfs_protocol.o \ #... The problem with doing this when building on Windows is that the toplevel src/ directory will be configured differently from the daemon/ directory. This means that

We've split off virt-v2v components into a separate repository: http://gitorious.org/virt-v2v/ (Previously they were part of the libguestfs repository). So virt-v2v stuff will disappear from the libguestfs repository shortly. You can get it from the link above instead.
