For me it has so far taken a lot longer. The problem is that the number of dependent packages is probably 100s. If you want something

Depending on which commands you run and from which language bindings, the command name in error messages can be doubled or even tripled.

So I got a lot further building libguestfs on Ubuntu, up to the point where I can boot the appliance and run some simple commands. We need to push some patches upstream, and there are still some things in Ubuntu itself which are broken. This documents how far I've got. (1) libguestfs from git, Ubuntu 9.10, all updated to the latest versions. You will of course also need to read the README

Inspired by something Glauber asked me about today, I made a very simple pair of patches which add a 'virt-rescue' command to libguestfs. This uses the appliance as a "rescue appliance", so people can boot into a disk image and repair it in an unstructured, interactive way. (Specifically, Glauber's question was how to run fsck interactively - with this patch you could do

This series of patches prepares the way for a later series which will add write support for Windows Registry 'hive' files to our 'hivex' mini library. About hivex: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html About the Windows Registry: Forget it - there are no reliable references. However the Wikipedia page explains some of the top level concepts:

Couple of notes: (1) You may need to 'make clean' after applying this patch. There is some missing dep so it seems the appliance isn't fully rebuilt. (2) [Comment mainly directed to Matt] This is not a candidate to be automatically added to the stable 1.2 branch. It's far too large of a change for a stable release. Since this change may be required for V2V, please clone
