similar to: [PATCH 0/2] Tool to merge regedit files into Windows Registry hives

This is the first part (of three) of a set of changes to support merging Windows Registry entries from the common 'regedit' format. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575738 This adds a Perl library Win::Hivex::Regedit which supports two functions for importing and exporting the format. I've tested this on some real output from the Windows regedit.exe program successfully.

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:

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 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

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.

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.

That's strange because virt-p2v-image-builder is supposed to only build 32 bit images ... Please keep the replies on the list. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red

This patch series adds support for some simple operations on hive files, and I've now tested and verified that those operations work correctly. All except for the last patch (12/12) are ready to be committed. The last patch is WIP.

Hivex is a small, self-contained C library for reading and writing Windows Registry "hive" binary files. I'm pleased to announce version 1.3.15 which you can get from: http://download.libguestfs.org/hivex/ Highlights of this release: - Improved performance by using a cache of iconv handles, especially when dumping out large hives (Hilko Hengen). - Add the ‘hivexregedit

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).

As described here previously: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-March/msg00129.html Here is the three part patch to reimplement virt-win-reg to support exporting and merging Windows Registry entries in the 'regedit' format.

The command*() functions are sane wrappers we use in the daemon to run external commands, and therefore very important. These two patches enhance these functions in useful ways. (Note these are an internal interface which we can change at any time). The first patch adds variations which take a flags parameter, and implements a useful flag (for dealing with parted). The second patch stops

In 1.11.1 / git, I have made some changes to the way that you run guestfish, guestmount and the virt tools from the build directory without installing. Firstly you can't just run ./fish/guestfish or ./fuse/guestmount any more and have those programs magically set LIBGUESTFS_PATH. The automagic code was always error-prone and I have removed it. Secondly, all of the run-*-local scripts have
