similar to: ANNOUNCE: RHEL 6.4 preview packages available

Although 1.6.0 was only released 6 weeks ago, there have been 276 commits and 23 releases since then. It's therefore time to think about what needs to be done for 1.8. This is my personal list. Please follow up if you have other suggestions. Rich. * Implement guestfish --rw option / configuration file. http://libguestfs.org/guestfish.1.html#opening_disks_for_read_and_write * Alternate

With the release of RHEL 7.3 happening today, fixing 88 reported bugs in libguestfs and virt-v2v, and countless other ones, it's time to look ahead to RHEL 7.4. Again we intend to rebase libguestfs, virt-v2v and virt-p2v: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1359086 1359086 NEW Rebase libguestfs in RHEL 7.4 To help with testing I have set up a preview repository here:

Just a friendly reminder that RHEL 7.4 preview packages of libguestfs and virt-v2v are available. You should be able to use them on top of either RHEL 7.3 or CentOS 7.3. http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview/ Instructions below.

If you are running RHEL 7.2 betas or snapshots (or RHEL 7.2 when it comes out next month) then you may be interested in trying out the newer RHEL 7.3 preview versions of: - libguestfs - virt-v2v (Supported since RHEL 7.2) - virt-p2v (Technical Preview in RHEL 7.2, Supported in RHEL 7.3) I intend to release upstream 1.32 towards the end of this year, and rebase libguestfs to that version. For

As in previous years, I'm making an unofficial, unsupported, unsigned yum repository containing a preview of the libguestfs and virt-v2v RHEL 7.5 packages: https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.5-preview/ PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT RED HAT SUPPORT ABOUT THESE PACKAGES. If you find any problems, contact the upstream mailing list directly by emailing <libguestfs at

As in the past, we have an unofficial, unsupported, unsigned yum repository containing a preview of the libguestfs and virt-v2v RHEL 7.6 packages: https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.6-preview/ PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT RED HAT SUPPORT ABOUT THESE PACKAGES.

I've got some bad news: libvirt remote support is probably not going to make libguestfs 1.20. John Eckersberg is diligently working on this, but I don't want to hold up the release of the next stable libguestfs for this, particularly since it needs dependent changes in libvirt. The last stable branch of libguestfs (1.18) happened in the middle of May. That's 7 months ago, making

It has been 5 months since the last stable release of libguestfs and over that time we've accumulated many exciting new features: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-release-notes.1.html#release-notes-for-libguestfs-1.22 It's time to plan for the release of libguestfs 1.22. As usual, bugs which have "1.22" (without quotes) in the devel whiteboard field are nominated as blockers for

In RHEL 6.5 we are probably going to rebase libguestfs, febootstrap and virt-v2v. As usual when this happens, I've put up a preview repository: http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/libguestfs-RHEL-6.5/ If you want to use these packages, the easiest thing to do is to copy the attached file into /etc/yum.repos.d/ and simply install or upgrade libguestfs. If you want to test libguestfs, obviously

Libguestfs 1.34 was released on 2016-08-08, which is about 6 months ago. I'd would like to think about what needs work for the next stable 1.36 release, which might happen at the end of this month. Any new APIs added in the 1.35 cycle will become supported and guaranteed when we release 1.36, so we need to check those. See: git diff v1.34.0 -- generator/actions.ml It looks like there

*** This response is my personal opinion and may not reflect that of my employer. *** It seems recent updates to Anaconda and in particular Blivet in the CentOS 7 .iso are restricting things rather than expanding the options. We have a scenario where we are doing a CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 upgrade (replacement) using a backup partition to hold the install image. Over the years, as we added cloud

Since RHEL 6.3 has been released, I have removed the RHEL 6.3 preview repository (the one located at people.redhat.com/~rjones). If you added this as a yum repo, you can remove it and things should continue to work. The official, cryptographically-signed source RPM is located here: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/libguestfs-1.16.19-1.el6.src.rpm (keys:

It has been 5 months since the last stable release of libguestfs and over that time we've accumulated many exciting new features. It's time to plan for the release of libguestfs 1.24. As usual, bugs which have "1.24" (without quotes) in the Devel Whiteboard field in Bugzilla are nominated as blockers for the release. You can see a list of those here, currently empty:

It has been 3 months since the last stable release of libguestfs. I'd like to plan a new 1.26 release towards the middle/end of next month. There are some virt-builder features I'd like to get in before then: - virt-builder needs to be able to use Linux distro published cloud images as a source (without requiring a lot of manual config as now) - virt-builder must be able to

HI, Richard Is there any plan to make daemon to directly run on the hypervisor, not starting a guest? e.g. directly export a guest image to be a block device on the hypervisor?

Libguestfs 1.30 was released on 2015-07-21 and because of my wish to rebase libguestfs in RHEL 7.3, I'd like to release 1.32 in early December. Please follow-up if there are features / blockers / bugs that need to be addressed for 1.32. As usual, bugs which have "1.32" (without quotes) in the Devel Whiteboard field in Bugzilla are nominated as blockers for the release. You can see

It has been a ludicrously long time (over 8 months) since the last stable release of libguestfs. So I'd like to plan a new 1.30 release soon. Please follow-up if there are features / blockers / bugs that need to be addressed for 1.30. As usual, bugs which have "1.30" (without quotes) in the Devel Whiteboard field in Bugzilla are nominated as blockers for the release. You can see

First I'd like to remind people that I am publishing RHEL 7.3 preview packages of libguestfs here: https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.3-preview/ https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-September/msg00079.html These can be installed on RHEL 7.2. In the libguestfs-1.32.1-3.el7 package that I have just uploaded, I have enabled *experimental* support for virt-v2v

Thank you Rich, I checked the version and found that it printed an old 1.17.17 version which was deployed before. But I remembered i did check the version in guestfish shell and it said 1.17.40 before that?then i totally ignored the fact i had another version involved. I`ve changed the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the "undefined symbol" error disappeared.But some "inspection API not
