This is a repost of a previously posted set. It's been updated following review comments. [PATCH 1/4] Add a core_pattern debug command Added missing return statements. [PATCH 2/4] Call sync after guestfsd exits Remove redundant sleep 1; sync [PATCH 3/4] Shut down the appliance cleanly [PATCH 4/4] Ignore launch() error in virt-rescue These were previously 2 patches. They are otherwise

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

Hi all, I need to write an aptitude provider for Debian. How should it differ from apt? Can I just s/apt/aptitude/g, or do I need to do something else? Any other weird behaviours I should look for or whatever? I''ll make it a subclass of apt (and since Deb seems to specify aptitude as the default now, maybe apt should subclass aptitude), so any dpkg answerfile work should work on

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

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, I'm trying to get the Hmisc module on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron install. I tried getting Hmisc from within R by issuing the standard 'install.packages' command, but it said I needed 'gfortran' to compile. I thought I could circumvent this by using 'aptitude' to get the package 'r-cran-hmisc', but when I got it, the package had critical missing parts (got

Guys Compliments of the festive season to everyone. Ive looked at mcollective plugins from http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/mcollective-plugins/wiki And I tried / installed some of them. What im looking for is a method or really a mcollective plugin to ''aptitude safe-upgrade'' on my test VMs. Would anyone have a solution or method on how I can go about this. The only

Hi all, I suffered a lot for the terrific performance of aptitude on a BTRFS filesystem. I don''t think that BTRFS is a slow filesystem, but it seems that some aptitude (or dpkg) patterns are capable to highlight the btrfs slowness in some corner case. In order to alleviate this problem, I wrote a small script which calls aptitude with the LD_PRELOAD libeatmyadata library. And now I

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: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-December/msg00044.html we had to disable a lot of packages which were missing in Ubuntu Karmic. However with the patch I just posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-May/msg00132.html we don't need to remove packages just because they are missing. But there is still one package which is present but doesn't install

Since .prepare is called before client negotiation has completed, filters have an additional burden to ensure prerequisite functions are called in order to avoid triggering assertions in backend.c.

Systems such as Debian (and thus Ubuntu) operate with 64-bit programs in /lib, with /lib64 a symlink to it: as a result, they apply a patch to their glibc adjusting the default search path of the 64-bit dynamic loader (only used if the library is not found in ld.so.cache) to look in /lib, and instruct the 32-bit one to look in /lib32. Because fakechroot is implemented via LD_PRELOAD, it ends up

[PATCH 1/3] Add a core_pattern debug command The first patch is just a rework of Rich's earlier core dump patch. It turns it into a debug subcommand so it can be called at any time. This also has the advantage of explicitly labelling an extremely untidy API as debug. [PATCH 2/3] Call sync after guestfsd exits The second patch seems to be required for cores to be dumped reliably. I was able to
