similar to: EPEL 5.4 qemu deps broken?

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.

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

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

Inspired by something Glauber asked me about today, I made a very simple pair of patches which add a 'virt-rescue' command to libguestfs. This uses the appliance as a "rescue appliance", so people can boot into a disk image and repair it in an unstructured, interactive way. (Specifically, Glauber's question was how to run fsck interactively - with this patch you could do

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

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.

This patch is in preparation for allowing libguestfs to use alternate "vmchannel" implementations. Although it's not a functional change, I think it is worthwhile on its own because use of the term "vmchannel" in the names of constants is inappropriate since (a) the "-net channel" option is now properly known upstream as "guestfwd", and (b) no one can

This patch by no means covers all the cases where we run external programs and expect to parse their output without setting LC_ALL=C. But it's a good start.
