similar to: [PATCH 0/7] Prepare for adding write support to hivex (windows registry) library

This series of patches, now up to 13 parts, contains lots of bug fixes and groundwork required before we add write support to the hivex library. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#)

Problems were found using valgrind. With these 5 patches, hivex can process registry files without provoking any valgrind warnings.

Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages. http://libguestfs.org

Whilst cleaning up the lintian reports in preparation for the Debian/Ubuntu hivex package one of the issues is: E: libhivex-perl: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/perl/5.10.1/auto/Win/Hivex/Hivex.so /tmp/buildd/hivex-1.2.1/perl/../lib/.libs I've temporarily dealt with this by using chrpath in the build and a rule to delete the RPATH from "auto/Win/Hivex/Hivex.so". I wonder

This series of patches aim to make adding disks from libvirt domains easy through the core API. These two new APIs allow you to add the disks from a libvirt domain. The higher level add-domain API takes the name of the libvirt domain as a string and connects to libvirt itself. The lower level add-libvirt-dom API relies on the program to connect to libvirt and pass the virDomainPtr into the API

This patch adds value_data_cell_offset to the hivex ABI, to report the hive space used for long value data.

Does hivex have a trivial-patch policy? >From e23c45a2f813ac29b022faa9112c1977b651862f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering at redhat.com> Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2012 17:34:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH hivex] maint: remove unnecessary mkdir -p * ocaml/Makefile.am (install-data-hook): Remove unneeded mkdir -p.

Currently 'hivexget' is a very clumsy command line tool which only lets you display a single registry key in a hive file, for example: $ hivexget SOFTWARE '\Microsoft\Windows\TabletPC\TabSetup\' "TabletSetup"=dword:00000000" This is inflexible and got really annoying as I was trying to explore these hive files in preparation for adding write support to hivex.

I'm pleased to announce the next release of hivex, a library and some tools for reading and writing Windows Registry hive files.

the 'hivex' had been installed actually, hivex.x86_64 0:1.2.4-3.el6 and perl-hivex.x86_64 0:1.2.4-3.el6, however it just could not be detected.Maybe i should compile one rather than just yum. I`m not familiar with hivex,as far as i know, it can be used to modify windows registry, but why the inspection API had been binded with hivex when we might use inspection api solely with linux os

This patch series adds support for outputing an ext2-based appliance from febootstrap-supermin-helper. The usage is very simple, you just add '-f ext2' flag and the name of the appliance file that you want to write to. The implementation uses libext2fs, which is a very low level way to create ext2 filesystems from scratch. We'd like to use libguestfs, but that's an obvious
