This is the libguestfs companion patch to: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-September/msg00045.html Rich.

Doing qemu feature detection in the direct backend takes ~100ms because we need to run `qemu -help' and `qemu -devices ?', and each of those interacts with glibc's very slow link loader. Fixing the link loader is really hard. Instead memoize the output of those two commands. This patch series first separates all the code dealing with qemu into a separate module (src/qemu.c) and

Inspired by libvirt's virCommand* internal mini-library, this adds some internal APIs for running commands. The first patch contains the new APIs. The subsequent patches change various parts of the library over to use it. Rich.

Hi, to ease debugging issues with appliances (e.g. when used in libguestfs), using --include-packagelist will add a file containing the list of all the packages used.

This package in Fedora enables optional support for Windows 10 "CompactOS" (file-level compression), read-only, which is sufficient for inspecting Windows guests and doing certain types of modifications to them. Virt-v2v appears to work, but it may be that anything that involves modifying a compressed file might not work. I couldn't find the equivalent package in Debian or SUSE.

Since v1: - Don't remove the whole of /var/log - Cleanups and fixes to appliance/Makefile.am

I was able to install stretch, starting from jessie [from `virt-builder debian-8'], changing s/jessie/stretch/ in sources.list, and upgrading in the usual way. To install gfs2-utils I had to add jessie as another apt source [see my final sources.list attached]. That package is not in stretch, I

This function was kind of like debug(), except that it didn't check the g->verbose flag and it only worked in the library (it would crash if used after fork). It also wasn't very useful. The sort of boot analysis done by tests/qemu/boot-analysis.c means that timestamping (some) messages is even less interesting than before. Remove it and replace calls with debug() instead. ---

Hi Pino, Thanks for your reply and details. I started looking at the others package manager code and as I see it there is one main problem to port supermin to slackware distro. Slackware builtin package management tools (pkgtool and slackpkg) do not manage package dependencies. There is no easy solution to solve this problem. There are third party packet manager which manage dependencies but

Hi Rich I using ubuntu 13.10 with powerpc arch. I tried the above stepss and below are the output of the related commands.. nm -D /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so | grep tgetent 0000def0 T tgetent ubuntu@t4240-ubuntu1310:~$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so libtinfo-dev:powerpc: /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so However I'm not able to perform rm -f config.cache

Rich you're right, I forgot to run make. I added 'set -x' and reran make and then ran 'virt-builder -v -x' and it seems to hang at dhclient (see attached log).

Lots of changes since v2, too much to remember or summarize. Please ignore patch 11/11, it's just for my testing. Rich.
