similar to: [PATCH] Fix error handling in 'zero' function.

Patches 1-6 are general code quality improvements. Note that Guido previously asked us for the ability to build libguestfs without building the appliance. Patches 7-10 are specific to Mac OS X, but shouldn't break the build for existing platforms.

The more I look at this patch, the less I like it. I would summarise why I think it's wrong here, but it's better if you look at the message I posted on the gnulib mailing list here first: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-11/msg00434.html Directly accessing errno on Windows is wrong: you won't see the true reasons for an error by doing that. However depending on

These two patches implement the first (and hardest) part of the fix for CVE-2010-3851. This adds a way to specify the format when adding a drive, avoiding qemu's auto-detection. In order to avoid an explosion of different add_drive_* functions (we have 4 already), we have implemented a way to specify optional arguments to functions, so all we need is a single new 'add_drive_opts'

I had a go at writing a patch, but I think it's possible already without any patch. After launch you can get the PID of the qemu subprocess: guestfs_get_pid (g); --> returns PID You can use Linux to map this to a list of thread IDs: ls /proc/$PID/task/ --> returns a list of thread IDs [Yes, this is potentially racy, but in reality qemu has already started up fully after

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).

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

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 +

Whenever config.status / configure runs it touches appliance/make.sh (even if the file hasn't changed) and that causes the appliance to be rebuilt completely. This patch breaks that dependency because building the appliance is time-consuming (since dracut was added) so we should try not to build it each time.

Recently we changed the daemon so it builds guestfs_protocol.o by this rule: $(libsrcdir)/guestfs_protocol.o: force $(MAKE) -C $(libsrcdir) guestfs_protocol.o guestfsd_LDADD = \ $(libsrcdir)/guestfs_protocol.o \ #... The problem with doing this when building on Windows is that the toplevel src/ directory will be configured differently from the daemon/ directory. This means that

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 is a set of bugfixes and enhancements to allow virt-resize to really expand Linux and Windows guests. Previously there were lots of bugs. This version has been tested on a variety of guests successfully. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.

This patch series starts by tidying up the code for the virt-cat, virt-df, virt-edit, etc tools, moving them into a single directory and making the build system much simpler as a consequence. Then we add two new tools, virt-tar (a general purpose archive and upload tool) and virt-ls (for listing directories). No new functionality is enabled by these tools -- that is to say, you can do everything
