Currently virt-inspector is a Perl script[1], which uses a Perl library called Sys::Guestfs::Lib[2]. This library contains (amongst other things) heuristics for determining what operating system is in a disk image. The library is the basis for both virt-inspector and virt-v2v.

I'm pleased to announce the next release of hivex, a library and some tools for reading and writing Windows Registry hive files. Man page: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html Source: http://libguestfs.org/download/hivex/ Git repo: http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=summary Fedora pkg: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3267857 This release mainly contains bug fixes.

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 currently disentangling the semi-separate 'hivex' library from the libguestfs sources, so it will become a separate upstream project. The git URL of the new hivex project is here: http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=summary Tarballs will be released in the usual downloads directory (http://libguestfs.org/download/) but there are none there yet. We will also create a separate

libguestfs 1.6 will be the basis for RHEL 6.1. If you are using RHEL 6.0, thanks for supporting Red Hat, and if you want to try out the new version, then I have built some packages here: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/rhel6.1-libguestfs-preview/ These are built on RHEL 6.0 and should install directly on top of RHEL 6.0. Some highlights: - Based on the upstream stable 1.6 branch. - Much

I just pushed hivex 1.2.6: http://libguestfs.org/download/hivex/ http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=summary You probably want this patch which didn't make it into 1.2.6 too: http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=commitdiff;h=2cf6eef8ff7b7ab642943e67183f0d7491c69f9d This is a bug fix release.

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

I have moved all three repositories to new locations on github: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex https://github.com/libguestfs/febootstrap You don't need to reclone them (unless you want to).

[Forwarding to the proper list] We use hivex for one of our projects and I see the following diff committed to the hivex project (source link provided) that ignores trailing garbage. But this code has been reverted to no ignore this condition in later version of hivex - /* This error is seemingly common in uncorrupt registry files. */ - /* - fprintf (stderr, "hivex: %s:

This series of patches prepares the way for a later series which will add write support for Windows Registry 'hive' files to our 'hivex' mini library. About hivex: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html About the Windows Registry: Forget it - there are no reliable references. However the Wikipedia page explains some of the top level concepts:

Commit 4d3601eb4ed1e314a8d4944a09a7f81638396cb6 made it clear that ocaml-hivex is required, implying also that hivex is required. However the configure test was still optional, and if you built libguestfs without hivex you got a very long and confusing error in the daemon/ subdirectory.

> 22:35 < cspack> has anyone tried to build hivex with ocaml 4.06? There seems to be some incompatibility there. I had to add two patches when building for Fedora: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/hivex/tree/master They are both upstream, but not in a released version of hivex yet. https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex/commits/master Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization

Hi Rich, I'm still working on validating whether the trailing zeroes were introduced by hivex or by windows (though I highly doubt it's hivex). But since it's part of a more complex workflow which is not that easy to modify, it's still a work in progress In the meanwhile, I wanted to be sure that ignoring the condition when hivex saw these trailing zeroes was the right solution.
