similar to: [PATCH pkg-libvirt/libguestfs] Remove update-guestfs-appliance

Hilko, This is an experimental patch showing how to split libguestfs into subpackages, so the main libguestfs0 doesn't depend on everything. Splitting packages only works for packages which are in the appliance (ie. in appliance/packagelist or supermin.d/packages). In this patch, only zfs-fuse [which previously caused trouble for users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053911] has been

While trying to run libguestfs tests after building with "--enable-appliance --with-supermin-extra-options=--use-installed", I ran into a peculiar error message in the c-api test: ,---- | libguestfs: error: strings: /abssymlink: strings: error while loading | shared libraries: libbfd-2.24-multiarch.so: cannot open shared object | file: No such file or directory `---- The problem here

Forgive me if this is the wrong area to ask this question. I'm happy to inquire to a diff list if that's better. From: http://libguestfs.org/ "Downloads For source see the downloads directory.

Hi guys, I've struggled in this error for 1 week and your help is really appreciated. As one EMC software engineer, I need to setup the libguestfs tool in SUSE12 ( SUSE11SP4 is also OK, while SUSE12 is preferred ) to mount some qcow2 image from openstack environment. Then we can read its file system architecture and restore some files. 1. The first thing is we build one SUSE

Hi, things are progressing slowly, but I feel that eventually I'll be getting there: supermin can be built on all Linux-based architectures that are part of Debian/unstable[1] -- (except for sparc, but I'll ignore that for now.) libguestfs on the other hand currently fails launching the appliance (necessary for running tests) on everything but x86 and mips. Apparently, qemu-system-arm

Rich, So, I tried to build the simple supermin app. from your blog. I can confirm that I did get to the shell when I invoked qemu-kvm. I used the standard qemu-kvm cmdline (but appended a serial console). This boots fine. ######################################################## [root at moon appliance-test]# qemu-kvm -kernel kernel -append "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" -initrd

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

I'm pleased to announce libguestfs 1.26, a library and set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. This release took more than 6 months of work by a considerable number of people, and has many new features (see release notes below). You can get libguestfs 1.26 here: Main website: http://libguestfs.org/ Source:

To allow easier downstream tweaks to the virt-rescue welcome message, just output the content of the /etc/issue file in the appliance. Thus, a new extras.tar.gz file appeared in supermin.d containing the etc/issue file and future tweaks like this one. --- appliance/Makefile.am | 11 +++++++++++ appliance/init | 11 ++--------- appliance/issue | 9 +++++++++ 3 files changed, 22

Move the "FIXED APPLIANCE" section from libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance(1) to the general guestfs(3), so it's more visible and less hidden in the documentation of a rarely-used tool. Expand the FAQ question about libguestfs without supermin, mentioning the build options needed and pointing to the aforementioned new section. --- appliance/libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance.pod | 28

Could you run the command below on the same arm host and attach the output? It'll give us a lot more information about what went wrong: /usr/bin/supermin --build -v -v -v --copy-kernel -f ext2 --host-cpu armv7hl /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d -o /tmp/appliance.d Thanks, Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and

I have done some printf profiling and found that supermin's calls to dpkg for individual packages are quite expensive. Here are some patches that gather all information on demand where possible. On my Debian/unstable-based workstation at home, preparing a minimal appliance using $ ./supermin --use-installed --prepare bash -o supermin.d now takes ~3.5s (previously ~15s). Turning that
