Old versions of both virt-edit and the guestfish "edit" command created a new file containing the changes but did not set the permissions, etc of the new file to match the old one. The result of this was that if you edited a security sensitive file such as "/etc/shadow" then it would be left world-readable after the edit. This issue was assigned CVE-2012-2690, and is fixed in

Just a note that 'whenjobs'[1] is now automating libguestfs test and build, along the development branch. Simply tagging a new release in git will trigger a cycle of packaging, test, build, updating the website, and performing a new build in Fedora Rawhide. At the moment I'm only doing the tests on Fedora, but I will extend it later so it tests both individual commits and released

The parameters to virt-tar are swapped so they always go in source -> destination

Quite a victory for Gnulib here. I was able to port a large part of the daemon just by adding some modules and fixing a few headers. The remaining issues which are *not* fixed are: * No chroot on Windows. * No sync(2) call. * No posix_fallocate call. * No futimes call. * No pread call. * No custom printf format specifiers. * Quite a few problems in guestfsd.c, eg. code to run external

Currently virt-df launches the appliance once for each guest. With these two patches the number of times the appliance launches is reduced to once every 26 block devices. In theory we could do better by adding support for disk hot-add (supported by qemu but not via libguestfs at the moment). However this patch is still an improvement on the current situation.

[CC-ing to libguestfs mailing list] You might want to try building from the tarballs. You won't need OCaml to build from the tarballs (although that is available for Mac OS X, see: http://godi.camlcity.org/). If you want to see how we build for Fedora, see: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/libguestfs/libguestfs.spec?view=markup If building from git, make sure you start with the

I finally worked out what's going on with livecd-creator. It's this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182362 and the workaround is trivial: just add 'tar' to the list of packages in the kickstart. I will add this to the p2v.ks upstream shortly. I'm also building a 32 bit ISO based on Fedora 22 which will go on the website later today (if it works). Rich.

This patch adds a new function, guestfs_file_arch, which is like guestfs_file but specifically intended to determine the architecture of binaries and libraries. Usage is: guestfs_file_arch (g, "/bin/ls") ==> "x86_64" (or whatever) What it can do: - ELF binaries - ELF shared libraries - Windows Win32 and Win64 binaries - Windows Win32 and Win64 DLLs - Linux

OK let's restart this whole architecture thing. Firstly two patches which pass the '-z' parameter to 'file' so it looks inside compressed files. (Thanks to Matt for finding this not-so-obscure option). This means the 'zfile' command is now obsolete.
