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

I've created an "oldlinux" branch in github: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commits/oldlinux The idea of this branch is that it contains patches to make libguestfs work on older versions of Linux that: - *don't* have virtio-serial in qemu/kernel - have ancient autotools Specifically we're targeting RHEL 5 (ca. 2007) and not anything older. This branch is

EPEL ("Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux") is an additional repository you can use to add packages to RHEL and derivatives. Modern libguestfs (1.19.xx) is now available in EPEL 5 updates-testing: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=327975 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.19.13-4.el5 It is VERY important that you read the release notes BEFORE

As announced two months ago[1], and since RHEL 6.3 is about to be released, I have deprecated the older branches of libguestfs (1.8, 1.10, 1.12, 1.14). These old branches are archived and will no longer receive any bug fixes or security fixes. libguestfs 1.16 and 1.18 are now the only supported stable branches, and it is recommended that everyone upgrades to them. They should be completely

I would like to put libguestfs 1.14 (the next stable branch) into Fedora 16. There should be no changes required in other packages at all, since libguestfs is API and ABI compatible for all releases, forever. Nor should users know the difference (except new features). But it's software, and we don't have a formal proof, so there could be bugs ... The release notes here cover the major

I'm very pleased to announce the release of libguestfs 1.20. Libguestfs is a library and a comprehensive set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine (VM) disk images. For more information see http://libguestfs.org Libguestfs 1.20 represents 7 months of upstream work, dozens of major new features and bug fixes. For full details read the release notes below.

I'm just about to release libguestfs 1.20. This appendix covers issues specific to Fedora 18. Fedora 18 defaults to using the libvirt attach-method, meaning that libvirt is used to create and manage the libguestfs appliance. There are several benefits to this (see the full release notes). You can switch back to the ordinary method (directly running qemu) at any time by doing: export

The machine at et.redhat.com is going to be decommissioned soon, and so I have arranged alternate hosting for these two git repositories.

Version 1.5.23 contains the fix.

http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance/ This could be interesting for people trying to compile libguestfs on platforms which don't yet support febootstrap. I suspect it may also be useful for Debian. I'm not suggesting that Debian uses a binary appliance, but instead of having update-guestfs-appliance build a supermin appliance, it could build a fixed appliance (in two steps,
