Change distro in the output formally known as virt-inspector to reflect the actual distro. Possible values are now: fedora, rhel, centos, scientific, debian. Add new distrofamily entry which is one of: redhat, debian. Currently all distros except 'debian' are in the redhat family. This allows you to, for example, select a RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux specific kernel for installation

It means you have to rerun `make -C perl clean ; make' every time you add an API, and is useless anyway. --- generator/perl.ml | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/generator/perl.ml b/generator/perl.ml index 5250ce1..f11477b 100644 --- a/generator/perl.ml +++ b/generator/perl.ml @@ -722,16 +722,17 @@ package Sys::Guestfs; use strict; use warnings;

Hello, I'm having trouble connecting to rbd images. It seems like somewhere the name is getting chewed up. I wonder if this is related to my previous troubles [1] [2] with rbd images. I'm trying to add an rbd image, but when I launch the guestfs object I get an error: >> libguestfs: trace: launch = -1 (error) I'm adding a single RBD >> libguestfs: trace: add_drive

Hello Richard, I'm using: >> virt-sysprep 1.25.6 I honestly don't remember if the currently installed version is from the tarball or pulled from the github source... Now that you mention it, I think it could even be the version with my "hack" to fix virt-sysprep... Which version are you building? I see there's a: >>

I was slightly too quick off the marks with the first patch. This updated patch modifies all of virt-inspector's output types to take account of distrofamily.

If libmagic isn't installed then the guestfs_file_architecture API doesn't work. This means that inspection will always return <arch>unknown</arch> for every guest. This subtly breaks a few features. In particular it was reported that the virt-builder/virt-customize --install option did not work because the "unknown" architecture of the guest was not compatible

[First attempt to send this using git send-email didn't work because of SMTP routing problems] Hilko, This is my experimental patch to remove update-guestfs-appliance from Debian. With this patch, libguestfs builds with a supermin [version 5] appliance in /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d: $ ll -h /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/ total 884K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94K Mar 15 12:18 base.tar.gz

Create a new guestfs-private.h header, and move there the definitions of all the actions with visibility VInternal, and all the private structs: they are not meant to be used, not even seen, outside of the library. Include the new header where needed, which means also a couple of places outside the library (but they are tests, so it is acceptable for now). The result of this is mostly motion of
