similar to: [PATCH 0/3] Three small fixes (pushed already)

I've tested this with both upstream qemu from git, and the old non-broken qemu from Fedora 12.

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

For me it has so far taken a lot longer. The problem is that the number of dependent packages is probably 100s. If you want something

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

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. Home page: http://libguestfs.org/ Downloads: http://libguestfs.org/download Git repo: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libguestfs.git;a=summary New in this release: - Support for Linux extended attributes. - Allow guestfish to be controlled

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. Nevertheless, text and XML output works for both Linux and Windows guests.

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.

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
