similar to: [PATCH v2 0/4] sysprep: Remove various backup files.

v3: - Split out test for "unix-like" guest OSes into separate commit. - Add guestfish --format=qcow2 to the test (x2). Rich.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401320 This series contains two new operations. The second -- and least controversial -- is "passwd-backups" which removes files such as /etc/passwd-, /etc/shadow- and so on. The first one ("backup-files") searches the whole guest filesystem for any regular file which looks like an editor backup file, such as "*~" and

Miscellaneous refactoring, but the main one is to rename mllib/ as common/mltools/ Rich.

Fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1354507 Main explanation is in patch #3. Rich.

Per my previous email: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-September/msg00203.html I'd like to talk about requiring a more modern version of the OCaml compiler. These commits show some of the code changes which would be possible with OCaml >= 3.12 [which it turns out we already require by accident] and also with OCaml >= 4.02. The latter is my favoured option. Rich.

This make sure there is no mismatch between the size of the integer value that Int64_val returns, and the size of the guestfs_h pointer. This should fix the warning on 32bit environments (and thus build, when --enable-werror is enabled). --- mllib/visit-c.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mllib/visit-c.c b/mllib/visit-c.c index b46dd33..b1c1216 100644 ---

Hi, this series introduces a basic support for registering/attaching/unregistering RHEL guests using subscription-manager, so it is possible to do for example: $ cat <<EOF > sm.conf [general] username=user password=pass [attach-0] pool=ID EOF $ virt-customize -a rhel-guest.qcow2 \ --sm-config sm.conf --sm-register --sm-attach 0 \ --install pkg1 --install pkg2

So far, passwords in URLs (eg http://user:password@host..) have been handled as part of the username, and thus passing add-drive path username:username:password ... instead of add-drive path username:username secret:password ... Fix the parsing of URLs to handle passwords as separate elements, properly passing it as "secret" parameter for add-drive, and properly readd it when

It started out as "this'll be just a simple fix ..." and turned into something a bit over-engineered in the end. Here it is anyway. Rich.

v2 -> v3: - Drop gnulib fallback.

Str is a pretty ugly regexp module. Let's try to replace it with PCRE. This series of commits goes some small way towards that eventual goal. - - - I wonder if there was a deep reason why we had this? let unix2dos s = String.concat "\r\n" (Str.split_delim (Str.regexp_string "\n") s) I replaced it with what I think should be (nearly) equivalent: let unix2dos s =

v1 -> v2: - Removed the f_type field from StatVFS.statvfs structure. - New function StatVFS.filesystem_is_remote, written in C. [Thinking about it, this should probably be called ?is_network_filesystem?, but I can change that before pushing]. - Use statvfs instead of fstatvfs, and statfs instead of fstatfs. - Rejigged the comments in builder/builder.ml to make them simpler

Parse the query string from URLs, and pass it as new add_drive optarg; use it when building the file= URL for qemu. Accept query string only for http and https protocols, for now. --- Possibly it looks like an ad-hoc solution for http(s), although I'm not sure how it could possibly be generalized somehow (maybe "extra params" which would be the query string for http(s)?).

This is just the utilities part of the patch series from: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00103.html I believe this addresses everything raised in comments on that patch series. Rich.

This turned out to be rather more involved than I thought. We have lots of utility functions, spread all over the repository, with not a lot of structure. This moves many of them under common/ and structures them so there are clear dependencies. This doesn't complete the job by any means. Other items I had on my to-do list for this change were: - Split up mllib/common_utils into: -

This is a combination of: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00046.html [PATCH 00/12] Refactor utility functions. plus: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00023.html [PATCH v3 00/19] Allow APIs to be implemented in OCaml. with the second patches rebased on top of the utility refactoring, and some other adjustments and extensions. This passes

If the connection is not local, paths of disks will refer to the remote host, which were mistakenly handled as local paths (in the best case failing to open a non-existing disk, and in the worst case opening a different disk!). In case the disks are remote resources like ssh or ceph, nothing guarantees that the hostname can be reached from the local machine, or even that it is actually the same on

Hi, this series switches virt-2v to ocaml-libvirt, embedding the latest version of it from git. This way, it is possible to improve the way v2v connects to libvirt for both input, and output modules, and interacts with libvirt (e.g. no more virsh calls needed in virt-v2v). As side effect, virt-v2v now requires libvirt, as keeping it optional would create too much burden. I could not test all

In SUSE guests, handle the case where Bootloader::Tools::GetDefaultSection () returns undef.
