similar to: FYI: 'oldlinux' branch created

The "oldlinux" branch of the libguestfs git repo contains a version of libguestfs that works with 'old' versions of Linux. 'old' in this sense means 'RHEL 5'. https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/tree/oldlinux I have recently rebased the oldlinux branch on top of libguestfs git (version 1.19.37). I'll push an EPEL 5 build shortly. Rich. -- Richard

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 ? ???

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

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

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.

That's strange because virt-p2v-image-builder is supposed to only build 32 bit images ... Please keep the replies on the list. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red

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).

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

The command*() functions are sane wrappers we use in the daemon to run external commands, and therefore very important. These two patches enhance these functions in useful ways. (Note these are an internal interface which we can change at any time). The first patch adds variations which take a flags parameter, and implements a useful flag (for dealing with parted). The second patch stops

This set adds support for recursively deleting a node and everything under it (ie. all subkeys, values, SKs etc). I've checked this works, both using my own reverse-engineering tools and using Windows 7 regedit.

This is part 1 (updated) and part 2 of the three part patch set to provide tools for merging Windows Registry entries in the 'regedit' textual format. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575738 Using the low-level hivexregedit tool I was able to merge the registry entries described in the following article into an existing 'system' registry hive file:

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
