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

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.

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

libguestfs is tools and a library for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. Home page: http://libguestfs.org/ Source: http://libguestfs.org/download/ I'm pleased to announce the latest stable release of libguestfs 1.6.0 which is available immediately from the website and through Fedora. This represents an enormous amount of work over the last 4-5 months and

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.

I pushed these already. One seems to be an obvious fix for 32 bit platforms. The other two are tidy-ups for the OCaml bindings which won't interest most people.

I'm pleased to announce a major new release of libguestfs. libguestfs is a library and a set of tools for accessing and modifying disk images and virtual machines. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests, scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, P2V, V2V, performing partial backups, cloning VMs, and much more. Home page: http://libguestfs.org/

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. Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages.

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
