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

Bash automatically resets euid to uid when it executes. This can mean that the effective user id of a program at the point it calls febootstrap-supermin-helper can be lost if any part of execution chain involved bash. This in turn can result in: * the generation of an incorrect checksum, which contains the uid. * the generation of supermin files with differing owners The -u and -g options allow

Because of the confusion generated by calling something 'febootstrap' which didn't have anything to do with Fedora and didn't generate bootstrap filesystems, I have renamed 'febootstrap' as 'supermin'. I also bumped the version number up to 4.1.0. New home page: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/supermin/ Downloads: http://libguestfs.org/download/supermin/ Git

(Not to be applied - there is still a bug in the handling of initrd images). This patch does the same as the previous 'file-arch' command, except written in Perl and running on the host.

Note this bug was very confusing because glob works when you use the -x (trace) option, so when you try to trace the commands being run the bug "disappears".

I have moved all three repositories to new locations on github: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex https://github.com/libguestfs/febootstrap You don't need to reclone them (unless you want to). You can simply edit .git/config and adjust the URL to: git at github.com:libguestfs/libguestfs.git git at github.com:libguestfs/hivex.git git at

At the moment I post new versions when I feel there has been a significant amount of work and/or time passed since the previous release. This however does not give a good indication of the quality of the release, for example if it includes mainly bugfixes and stability improvements, or bleeding edge features. Therefore I would like to propose a change to the way that libguestfs versions are

http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=60d5a50f4d3d9e2c2f5a7d42a6859de709bda3f6 Originally I had the daemon directory use a separate configure script, because we thought we would recompile the daemon for multiple different architectures, so that we could have libguestfs able to run commands in guests which have a different architecture from the host. Well, that didn't really

Matt, can you install the latest libguestfs + febootstrap packages on Rawhide and give them a spin: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=173442 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=173526 The way that the supermin appliance is constructed and booted has changed substantially and I'd like to make sure that we find any bugs early, since we are planning to put

It's a recurring bug in Fedora that two packages will both contain a config file with the same name (for example this currently is occurring in glibc & glibc-common in Fedora 13 with the file /etc/gai.conf). RPM appears to allow this, at least if both files are empty. If both files are empty then there appears to be no particular problem with combining the two file records in febootstrap
