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.

This adds a virt-edit command. This is already possible using guestfish: guestfish -i domain ><fs> vi /some/file but having a special command to do it makes the operation more obvious and easier.

Mark is organizing the Fedora Virtualization Test Day, which is this Thursday, 2009-09-17. Amongst the things that we'll be testing is libguestfs, and anyone who is interested in libguestfs and can contribute a little time is welcome to come along and help us. Join #fedora-test-day on FreeNode at any time, and ping someone (eg. me: 'rwmjones'). More details here:

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).

libguestfs 1.6 will be the basis for RHEL 6.1. If you are using RHEL 6.0, thanks for supporting Red Hat, and if you want to try out the new version, then I have built some packages here: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/rhel6.1-libguestfs-preview/ These are built on RHEL 6.0 and should install directly on top of RHEL 6.0. Some highlights: - Based on the upstream stable 1.6 branch. - Much

This also changes the name of the "vmchannel" buffer to just "buf", reflecting the fact that it's just used as a temporary buffer, and that the word vmchannel is overloaded.

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

[For a bug noted earlier by both Matt Booth and Jim Meyering] If you use the guestfs_add_drive function, then currently it generates a qemu command line element like: -drive ...,cache=off,... This causes qemu to try to open the device with O_DIRECT. Unfortunately some filesystems don't support this flag, notably tmpfs, which means you can't use libguestfs in conjunction with tmpfs.

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 +
