If an environment variable such as XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or one of the tmpdirs or cachedir is set to a non-existent directory, improve the error message that the user will see so that (where possible) it includes the environment variable or API call. This is still not bullet-proof because it's hard to display the environment variable if it is LIBGUESTFS_TMPDIR or LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR, but the main

Hi, Backports of the libguestfs, febootstrap, and hivex packages that have been shipped with Debian 7 (wheezy) for Debian 6 (squeeze) are now available via backports.debian.org. The versions are: libguestfs 1:1.18.1-1+deb7u2~bpo60+1 febootstrap 3.17-1~bpo60+1 hivex 1.3.6-2~bpo60+1 I have also removed the archive of older backports that was previously available at

Set LIBGUESTFS_PATH to the default value compiled into and output a warning to STDERR, instead. The previous behavior caused the build to abort when trying to build the sysprep documentation -- without much of a hint of what went wrong. When LIBGUESTFS_PATH was not set, test-events.sh would fail. --- run.in | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/run.in

libguestfs is a library and a set of tools for reading, writing, managing, inspecting, rescuing, resizing and aligning disk images, and offline and live virtual machines. I'm pleased to announce the release of libguestfs 1.16, the next stable release of libguestfs. See the release notes below for the full list of changes.

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'm pleased to announce libguestfs 1.26, a library and set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images.
