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

I've pushed this patch in response to a user request to make it easier to write newlines and other characters in guestfish: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=617e7f6bafa7de2303c08e1715004aae3141c389 This lets you write: ><fs> write /file "this is a line\n" and have it do what you'd expect. (With current guestfish, this writes backslash

My aim is to get to the stage where we can start the daemon and run it under Wine. By using a dummy QEMU wrapper[1] we can have the daemon be run from a real Linux libguestfs program. It'll be running on the same machine (not in an appliance) and it'll be running under Wine, not Windows, but that's good enough to start testing the XDR protocol and some simple commands. It's very

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

I'm going to be out of contact from next week until the beginning of March. libguestfs and the virt tools will obviously keep going without me, but I'm just sending this note to say that I have put mirrors for the following git repositories up in case the primary git repo has any problems. Primary Mirror http://git.annexia.org/?p=febootstrap.git;a=summary

The machine at et.redhat.com is going to be decommissioned soon, and so I have arranged alternate hosting for these two git repositories. As of now you should use: http://git.annexia.org/?p=febootstrap.git;a=summary (web interface) git clone git://git.annexia.org/git/febootstrap.git http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=summary (web interface) git clone

This two-part patch implements the 'hexedit' command described here: http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/09/18/new-feature-guestfish-hexedit/#content The first part implements two new APIs for partial writing and reading of files. These are modelled after guestfs_upload and guestfs_download but allow you to specify an offset and (for download only) a size: int guestfs_download_offset

This patch is FYI as it needs more testing, although feel free to take a look at it if you want. Background: We'd like to change libguestfs so that the appliance can support optional features. This would mean you could have (for example) a 'libguestfs' base package and a 'libguestfs-xfs' package providing optional support for XFS filesystem tools. This would only apply to

Builds in Koji currently fail with: /sbin/udevsettle missing or unknown command which means that we don't wait long enough after partitions etc have been created. In Fedora >= 12, we shouldn't use /sbin/udevsettle. It's been deprecated in favour of 'udevadm settle'. The relevant code is:

Just a note (mainly to get it clear for *me*!) where we are with libguestfs branches and Fedora/RHEL versions: Fedora ? ??? Fedora 16 libguestfs 1.16 (currently 1.16.29) ? ??? Fedora 17 libguestfs 1.18 (currently 1.18.6) ? ??? Fedora 18 (just libguestfs 1.19.28, will move to ? branched) stable 1.20 branch when it is ready ? ???

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).

Just simple code fixes ... Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
