This short patch series fixes various problems with the Java bindings, including enabling support for functions that return hash tables (returned as Map<String,String>). With this, the Java bindings are improved although still not perfect. The last remaining issue is to implement support for functions that take optional arguments.

This patch series implements user cancellation. What this means is that the "user" (or any library caller) can cancel certain long-running operations. Currently it is only possible to cancel upload and download operations (ie. anything in the generator which uses FileIn and FileOut). The mechanism in the protocol to implement cancellation already exists, and it is already used to

The more I look at this patch, the less I like it. I would summarise why I think it's wrong here, but it's better if you look at the message I posted on the gnulib mailing list here first: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-11/msg00434.html Directly accessing errno on Windows is wrong: you won't see the true reasons for an error by doing that. However depending on

The current guestfs_find API call contains an undocumented limit: It needs to marshall the whole list of filenames into a single protocol message. Unfortunately just about any Linux guest breaks this limit if you try 'guestfs_find ("/")' so this isn't much use. These patches add a new API call (find0) which breaks this limit by using a FileOut parameter. It's slightly

These two patches implement the first (and hardest) part of the fix for CVE-2010-3851. This adds a way to specify the format when adding a drive, avoiding qemu's auto-detection. In order to avoid an explosion of different add_drive_* functions (we have 4 already), we have implemented a way to specify optional arguments to functions, so all we need is a single new 'add_drive_opts'

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

This patch changes libguestfs to use the ext2-based appliance, cached if possible. I've tested this with the alpha version of febootstrap from here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=191338 and it at least passes the tests. There are some hacky bits right now: (1) We add the root -drive option last on the command line, then (in the initrd) reverse-search through the

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
