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

This isn't very well tested at the moment because my main testing machine is broken. So just for comment, only to be applied with caution. This patch has two new commands which make it much easier to look up filesystems by their UUID or label. They are: list-devices-by-uuid list-devices-by-label Each returns a hashtable (or whatever the equivalent structure is in your favourite

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

As some may remember, in the run-up to RHEL 6.3 I made a yum repository available of libguestfs and other packages. It's time for the same thing for RHEL 6.4. These packages should work on RHEL 6.3, CentOS 6.3 and other RHEL 6 derivatives (although I've only tried them on RHEL 6.3). A source RPM is also supplied in case you want to try rebuilding the package. To use the repo, run the

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

[This announcement covers version 1.0.58 too since it didn't get a separate message.] We are pleased to announce the release of libguestfs 1.0.59.

Earlier today I added this feature: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=34d2df41626f1ee4172a6d40b06d72d6ed9d6348 Unfortunately this feature doesn't work out. I forgot about kernel modules, which are contained in the initramfs, and stop working noisily if you just try to change the kernel. So I'm going to revert this patch, and perhaps think of some other way to do

This patch isn't quite finished. I also need to modify the virt-inspector "query mode" so that it can display the architecture.

The tests currently break on my Debian machine. The reason is that the squashfs that we use to store test data has an incompatible format with the kernel used in the appliance. Anyway, avoid using a squashfs at all, and use an ISO instead.

The change to "null vmchannel" didn't get reflected in the configure script which still checks for vmchannel in qemu. This patch tidies up this part of the configure script so we don't fail, provided we have support for user mode networking (which is required for null vmchannel). This patch didn't make it into 1.0.71. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red
