similar to: libguestfs for RHEL 7.0 preview repository

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

I have moved all three repositories to new locations on github: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex https://github.com/libguestfs/febootstrap You don't need to reclone them (unless you want to). You can simply edit .git/config and adjust the URL to: git at github.com:libguestfs/libguestfs.git git at github.com:libguestfs/hivex.git git at

(Actually, libguestfs from git, but 1.24 and git are pretty close now) First install augeas 1.0.0 from here: http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/libguestfs-RHEL-6.5/ Check out libguestfs from git. You'll need to create two files in the libguestfs source directory: "localconfigure" containing: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- source localenv #

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

I'm going to be out of contact from next week until the beginning of March. libguestfs and the virt tools will obviously keep going without me, but I'm just sending this note to say that I have put mirrors for the following git repositories up in case the primary git repo has any problems. Primary Mirror http://git.annexia.org/?p=febootstrap.git;a=summary

The machine at et.redhat.com is going to be decommissioned soon, and so I have arranged alternate hosting for these two git repositories. As of now you should use: http://git.annexia.org/?p=febootstrap.git;a=summary (web interface) git clone git://git.annexia.org/git/febootstrap.git http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=summary (web interface) git clone

This patch is FYI as it needs more testing, although feel free to take a look at it if you want. Background: We'd like to change libguestfs so that the appliance can support optional features. This would mean you could have (for example) a 'libguestfs' base package and a 'libguestfs-xfs' package providing optional support for XFS filesystem tools. This would only apply to

libguestfs 1.6 will be the basis for RHEL 6.1. If you are using RHEL 6.0, thanks for supporting Red Hat, and if you want to try out the new version, then I have built some packages here: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/rhel6.1-libguestfs-preview/ These are built on RHEL 6.0 and should install directly on top of RHEL 6.0. Some highlights: - Based on the upstream stable 1.6 branch. - Much

Arch User Repository - https://aur.archlinux.org/ have changed the package location I am not a developer (and i dont know ocaml) but i've tried to build a patch eg. old location: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hivex/hivex.tar.gz new location: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hi/hivex/hivex.tar.gz AUR has a lot Flagged out-of-date packages so it would be nice if febootstrap would

Hi, Backports of the libguestfs, febootstrap, and hivex packages that have been shipped with Debian 7 (wheezy) for Debian 6 (squeeze) are now available via backports.debian.org. The versions are: libguestfs 1:1.18.1-1+deb7u2~bpo60+1 febootstrap 3.17-1~bpo60+1 hivex 1.3.6-2~bpo60+1 I have also removed the archive of older backports that was previously available at

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

I have been able to get a litle further with converting a windows VM. After getting the updated virt-v2v code and rhsrvany, I now get this error: libguestfs: trace: hivex_node_set_value = 0 libguestfs: trace: upload "/usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/amd64/Win2012R2/netkvm.cat" "/Windows/Drivers/VirtIO" guestfsd: main_loop: proc 365 (hivex_node_set_value) took 0.01 seconds

Hi, I am trying to get libguestfs-test-tool working on ubuntu. The first problem I had was that HiveX won't compile on ubuntu to due to some missing symbols (rpl-getopt, I see this has already been reported). Second problem is that if HiveX is not available, guestfish doesn't link because code refers to symbols which aren't compiled into libguestfs (I was able to work around this by

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,

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. You can download

http://oirase.annexia.org/nbdkit/ Please read the README file first: http://oirase.annexia.org/nbdkit/README I uploaded these because a github user requested them. I'm not promising that these will be updated with any regularity. If it's something that people want to see then we'll need to find a more sustainable way to build / test / distribute them, but for now this is what

Hi! Last night, I uploaded version 1.12.3-2 of the libguestfs package to Debian/unstable. I consider most of the initial work done. Apart from fixing bugs that users will reportt, a few issues remain: - Building bindings for multiple Python versions. I have just done this for hivex, it is probably going to be an issue being able build with $(builddir) != $(srcdir). - Improving febootstrap

When virtualizing a physical machine ("P2V"), the conversion step is done by virt-v2v, but there is a small GUI / front end component called virt-p2v which has to run on the source physical machine in a special environment. http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v.1.html#network-setup Because the nature of the problem is that we want to virtualize old machines, this means virt-p2v sometimes
