similar to: [ANNOUNCE] libguestfs 1.0.59 released

Thank you Rich, I checked the version and found that it printed an old 1.17.17 version which was deployed before. But I remembered i did check the version in guestfish shell and it said 1.17.40 before that?then i totally ignored the fact i had another version involved. I`ve changed the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the "undefined symbol" error disappeared.But some "inspection API not

I'm pleased to announce a major new release of libguestfs. libguestfs is a library and a set of tools for accessing and modifying disk images and virtual machines. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests, scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, P2V, V2V, performing partial backups, cloning VMs, and much more.

libguestfs is tools and a library for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. Home page: http://libguestfs.org/ Source: http://libguestfs.org/download/ I'm pleased to announce the latest stable release of libguestfs 1.6.0 which is available immediately from the website and through Fedora. This represents an enormous amount of work over the last 4-5 months and

Just a note that I released version 1.0.56 yesterday. The main reason for doing a release was a large number of RHEL 5 fixes that allowed me to actually get an EPEL build out. The source is here: http://libguestfs.org/download/ and Fedora 11, 12 and EPEL 5 binaries are here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8391 There are some experimental, internal changes in this

Although 1.6.0 was only released 6 weeks ago, there have been 276 commits and 23 releases since then. It's therefore time to think about what needs to be done for 1.8. This is my personal list. Please follow up if you have other suggestions. Rich. * Implement guestfish --rw option / configuration file. http://libguestfs.org/guestfish.1.html#opening_disks_for_read_and_write * Alternate

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

(This bug was found by Matthew Booth during routine code review) We found a security issue which affects libguestfs programs in some circumstances. Since we don't pass the disk format through to qemu, a malicious guest backed by raw-format storage might craft a qcow2 header into its own disk. QEmu would interpret this, and qcow2 offers a wide range of features such as accessing arbitrary

It's neat that you can now do: $ guestfish -a F14x64.img -i \ inspect-get-package-management /dev/vg_f13x64/lv_root yum But it would be better if we didn't have to "know" the root filesystem there, something like: $ guestfish -a F14x64.img -i <<EOF set roots inspect-get-roots inspect-get-package-management %{roots[0]} EOF yum I've not quite

For several people who asked me about the status of the virt-* tools in EPEL, I have now been able to build the libguestfs-tools package: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=139029 However I haven't tested this package yet, so YMMV.

libguestfs 1.12 will be the next stable release of libguestfs, following the usual version numbering scheme: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#libguestfs_version_numbers In order to coincide with the Fedora 16 schedule, I'd like to make the 1.12.0 release on or around 2011-07-20. The Fedora 16 branch date is 2011-07-26. Why might you care? (1) RHEL 6.3: *If* we were going to rebase

I've added some commits to ensure libguestfs can compile on Fedora/ARM (with all options and bindings enabled except Haskell). However it doesn't quite run yet: (1) The Fedora qemu package is broken. Don't use it; compile qemu from source instead. (2) You have to configure libguestfs to pass extra qemu options. Currently you should use: PATH=/path/to/your/qemu/arm-softmmu:$PATH

I'm going to rename some test directories to make the names more logical: * caution -> tests/qemu This directory contains tests of qemu (safety and liveness). 'make check' will be changed so that this directory is tested first. At present, 'make check' happens to build images/ first which makes it harder to track down qemu breakage. * capitests -> tests/c-api

In no particular order. Some of these need further investigation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I had to patch libguestfs not to use febootstrap-supermin-helper --copy-kernel option. See attachment #1. This could be avoided by providing a newer febootstrap in Wheezy. I had to patch libguestfs to make it not use the (not working) virtio-scsi in old
