similar to: [PATCH 0/3] Three final patches which fix build issues on Mac OS X

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. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines. Supports

With these, I was able to compile guestfish. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v

This patchset just fixes the 'hexdump' command as an example. The important part of the patch is #2 since that shows the approach I want to take to fix this. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.

As outlined here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/msg00171.html These patches fix some of the simpler things. Some of the things (the missing headers) are genuine bugs. Note in order to cross-compile at all you have to comment out the section in the daemon/configure.ac where it detects custom format specifiers. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

Fixes for both of these bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633096 virt-resize calculates block device size incorrectly, doesn't work with qcow2 target https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633766 virt-resize --shrink fails I'm still doing testing on these, but the patches seem good enough to review.

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

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 set adds support for recursively deleting a node and everything under it (ie. all subkeys, values, SKs etc). I've checked this works, both using my own reverse-engineering tools and using Windows 7 regedit. Example: $ hivexsh -w <<EOF load software cd \Microsoft del commit EOF Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora

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 +

This is a two-part fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538041 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine. Supports Linux and Windows. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-df/

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

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.

I started with: - Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Xcode installed - OCaml from GODI - qemu from git autoconf is really ancient (2.61). It doesn't have AM_SILENT_RULES and although we tried to make things work when autoconf lacks this by having: m4_ifndef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [m4_define([AM_SILENT_RULES],[])]) AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]) # make --enable-silent-rules the default. this nevertheless

1/8 generator: Rearrange argt logically (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). 2/8 generator: Optional arguments, add-drive-opts (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). These two previously posted. 3/8 fish: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851). Updates to guestfish to add the --format option and to make -d copy the format from libvirt. 4/8 fuse: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851).

Depending on which commands you run and from which language bindings, the command name in error messages can be doubled or even tripled. You could see errors like: foo: foo: /path: File not found These two patches address the problem.

Although support for write(2) syscall is not yet implemented, we might consider cautiously merging this one. In read-only mode it seems to work fine and is stable under load.
