Hi, Rich: I met a supermin issue on CentOS 7.1: supermin: version: 5.1.10 supermin: rpm: detected RPM version 4.11 supermin: package handler: fedora/rpm supermin: acquiring lock on /root/test/aaa/lock supermin: build: /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d supermin: build: visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/base.tar.gz type gzip base image (tar) supermin: build: visiting

It looks to me that the windows 2008 image I am attempting to convert is not being detected as windows but is being updated as a Linux system. When PXE booted the server with the p2v image I ended up with this error: Failed to launch guestfs appliance. Try running again with LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 for more information The system image transferred and I was able to create an XML file to boot it under

This is an attempt to make supermin check for the existing results of an output when checking whether the appliance must be rebuilt using --if-newer. At the moment it is implemented only for the build mode, and for its ext2 output format.

Why does the toplevel Makefile process appliance/, and creates supermin.d during make install, whith configure --disable-appliance? I have to double check what actually happens, it seems it causes startup failures if the resulting binary packages are started on a host that happens to have supermin installed. Olaf

This is an attempt to make supermin check for the existing results of an output when checking whether the appliance must be rebuilt using --if-newer. At the moment it is implemented only for the ext2 output format of the build mode. Changes from v1: - drop empty stub for the prepare mode - add patch to ignore --if-newer on modes different than build - squash patch with stub for the build mode

This two-part patch for supermin implements device trees (for ARM). The first patch introduces a more rational way to handle command line arguments in 'supermin-helper'. See the commit message for details. The old style is still supported for compatibility. The second patch adds an extra supermin-helper --dtb parameter specifying a wildcard.

Move the "FIXED APPLIANCE" section from libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance(1) to the general guestfs(3), so it's more visible and less hidden in the documentation of a rarely-used tool. Expand the FAQ question about libguestfs without supermin, mentioning the build options needed and pointing to the aforementioned new section. --- appliance/libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance.pod | 28
