similar to: [PATCH] Remove dependency on deprecated Sys::Guestfs::Lib::inspect_linux_kernel.

This patch is in preparation for allowing libguestfs to use alternate "vmchannel" implementations. Although it's not a functional change, I think it is worthwhile on its own because use of the term "vmchannel" in the names of constants is inappropriate since (a) the "-net channel" option is now properly known upstream as "guestfwd", and (b) no one can

This patch by no means covers all the cases where we run external programs and expect to parse their output without setting LC_ALL=C. But it's a good start.

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 bug was found by Matthew Booth during routine code review) We found a security issue which affects libguestfs programs in some circumstances. Since we don't pass the disk format through to qemu, a malicious guest backed by raw-format storage might craft a qcow2 header into its own disk. QEmu would interpret this, and qcow2 offers a wide range of features such as accessing arbitrary

libguestfs 1.12 will be the next stable release of libguestfs, following the usual version numbering scheme: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#libguestfs_version_numbers In order to coincide with the Fedora 16 schedule, I'd like to make the 1.12.0 release on or around 2011-07-20. The Fedora 16 branch date is 2011-07-26. Why might you care? (1) RHEL 6.3: *If* we were going to rebase

Couple of notes: (1) You may need to 'make clean' after applying this patch. There is some missing dep so it seems the appliance isn't fully rebuilt. (2) [Comment mainly directed to Matt] This is not a candidate to be automatically added to the stable 1.2 branch. It's far too large of a change for a stable release. Since this change may be required for V2V, please clone

I pushed these already. One seems to be an obvious fix for 32 bit platforms. The other two are tidy-ups for the OCaml bindings which won't interest most people.

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

John, It's probably worth setting out from what the problem is / what we are trying to solve here. At the moment if you run a command like: virt-inspector -d Guest then libguestfs asks libvirt [-d option] for the XML corresponding to the libvirt guest called 'Guest'. This will contain disk sections like this: <disk type='block' device='disk'>
