So I got a lot further building libguestfs on Ubuntu, up to the point where I can boot the appliance and run some simple commands. We need to push some patches upstream, and there are still some things in Ubuntu itself which are broken. This documents how far I've got. (1) libguestfs from git, Ubuntu 9.10, all updated to the latest versions. You will of course also need to read the README

Previously posted here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-December/msg00041.html I can't get aptitude to work under debirf (not on Ubuntu anyway), so using apt-get is necessary for me.

These small fixes are required to fix the build and tests on Debian (using the debootstrap/debirf appliance). There is currently another bug in the Debian tests which I'm looking into. hexdump always fails as follows: libguestfs: error: hexdump: hexdump: /test123: hexdump: /sysroot/test123: Bad file descriptor Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

Just a note that I released version 1.0.56 yesterday. The main reason for doing a release was a large number of RHEL 5 fixes that allowed me to actually get an EPEL build out. The source is here: http://libguestfs.org/download/ and Fedora 11, 12 and EPEL 5 binaries are here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8391 There are some experimental, internal changes in this

I've tested this with both upstream qemu from git, and the old non-broken qemu from Fedora 12.

Earlier today I added this feature: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=34d2df41626f1ee4172a6d40b06d72d6ed9d6348 Unfortunately this feature doesn't work out. I forgot about kernel modules, which are contained in the initramfs, and stop working noisily if you just try to change the kernel. So I'm going to revert this patch, and perhaps think of some other way to do

Hi, just a short heads up about the current status of libguestfs on Debian: Current git master builds and works fine on Debian sid. The only change you have to make is to use a custom kernel instead of the one in squeeze/sid by pointing DEBIRF_KERNEL_PACKAGE in appliance/debian/debirf.conf to something recent enough (>= 2.6.35) like:

Hi, While trying to ./configure libguestfs on gentoo fails since it requires feboostrap or deboostrap Can this be made optional and not as necessary requirement, since there are still many useful uses for libguestfs besides bootstrapping, which can be used on distros like gentoo. Thanks Alex

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.

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

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

This patch isn't quite finished. I also need to modify the virt-inspector "query mode" so that it can display the architecture.
