v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-October/msg00047.html v2 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-October/msg00051.html v3: - Back to using string/string_format and attribute/attribute_format. - Add both single_element and single_element_format. - Rebased and retested. Rich.

Consolidate and extend the use of funky start_element() etc macros. Rich.

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-October/msg00047.html However it was broken in a few ways. First of all the documentation was broken because "/**" enhanced comments were not permitted on macros. This is fixed in the new 1/4 patch. Secondly we didn't use single_element() everywhere possible, which is fixed in the new 4/4 patch. Lastly I've

Here's the new API method and update to virt-inspector. I still need to implement app_arch for debian and windows (if applicable), for now they just return empty strings.

Change virt-inspector so it uses the common set of macros.

Here's a partially implemented fix for RHBZ#859949. Seeing as this is my first libguestfs patch, I'd like some other eyeballs on it to make sure I've not done anything completely crazy. If the rpm case looks ok, I'll update the deb and windows cases if/where applicable.

The existing mechanism was clunky, slow and used ~ 10 MB of local disk. Rich.

John, This was my attempt to add symbol versioning to the library, letting us break ABI without breaking any existing callers. Unfortunately it doesn't work: - the new versioned symbols are marked local in libguestfs.so - the existing symbols should now have @GUESTFS_0.0 versions, but don't The documentation for this stuff is extremely thin, and I've got a bad case of

This adds most of the hivex APIs directly to the libguestfs API, so that you can read and write Windows Registry hive files from libguestfs without needing to download and upload hive files from the guest. This is analogous to how Augeas APIs are exposed already (guestfs_aug_*) Also, inspection is now done using the new APIs, which fixes the following bug:

Because of previous automated commits, such as changing 'guestfs___' -> 'guestfs_int_', several function calls no longer lined up with their parameters, and some lines were too long. The bulk of this commit was done using emacs batch mode and the technique described here: http://www.cslab.pepperdine.edu/warford/BatchIndentationEmacs.html The changes suggested by emacs were

This is a simpler patch series to add symbol versioning. I have pushed patches 1-3 upstream. Rich.

This rather more complex patch series adds symbol versioning (7/7 shows it in action). This works for me, tested by running old and new virt-inspector binaries against the new library. Rich.

This preliminary patch series adds a libvirt backend to libguestfs. It's for review only because although it launches the guest OK, there are some missing features that need to be implemented. The meat of the patch is in part 4/4. To save you the trouble of interpreting libxml2 fragments, an example of the generated XML and the corresponding qemu command line are attached below. Note the

QEMU upstream has broken snapshot=on ... again. These two patches stop using it entirely. Instead we run 'qemu-img create' to create overlay disks as required. Note that the libvirt and UML backends were already doing this: The libvirt backend because <transient/> has never worked, and the UML backend was running uml_mkcow because the UML-equivalent syntax of snapshot=on was

This patch adds value_byte_runs and node_byte_runs. Each byte run represents the offset and length of a data structure within the hive, one per node, and one or two per value depending on the length of the value data. These byte run functions also add additional data sanity checks as a hive is being parsed, mainly checking that a node address actually points to a node, and similarly for values.

Link to version 1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-February/thread.html#00122 Changes since version 1: - I've pushed two (of the three) code refactoring patches. The third one proved rather hard to move. - selinuxnorelabel option is no more. Instead there is a second internal API (internal_set_libvirt_selinux_norelabel_disks). - fixed bogus commit message -
