similar to: [PATCH] daemon: Fix configure check so it requires hivex.

Since systemd 209, all the functionalities of the former libsystemd-* (including libsystemd-journal) have been merged into a single libsystemd, with the former libraries left as compatibility ones. Thus, first look for libsystemd, and if not found try again with the libsystemd-journal as used before. --- configure.ac | 13 ++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff

This adds most of the hivex APIs directly to the libguestfs API, so that you can read and write Windows Registry hive files from libguestfs without needing to download and upload hive files from the guest. This is analogous to how Augeas APIs are exposed already (guestfs_aug_*) Also, inspection is now done using the new APIs, which fixes the following bug:

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com> This means there will be no default hypervisor, and effectively the user will always have to specify one (eg. by setting LIBGUESTFS_HV or calling guestfs_set_hv). This is useful on platforms where qemu doesn't work, or where qemu is not needed (eg. if you want to use UML, or you just want to compile libguestfs without

qemu has supported virtio-serial since forever, and we depend on much newer features now, so testing for virtio-serial is pointless. In fact allowing a set of possible qemu binaries to be supplied is also pointless, since packagers or even people building from source know what qemu binary they want to use. Now the possible options for --with-qemu are: * --with-qemu=search (or --with-qemu

Debian is also doing a UsrMove/UsrMerge: https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge However it is not finalized that Debian will actually make this change. Since some Debian systems have /sbin as a symlink and other have /sbin as a real directory, and we should avoid choosing a symlinked directory for the daemon, the easiest fix is simply to probe /usr/sbin before /sbin since under all scenarios (and

Ensure libtsk is available at compile time. If not, daemon routines depending on it won't be available.

The latter is a better way to disable the qemu display output as we need to, without enabling extra devices (which are disabled already, anyway). Also, related to the change above, ban the -display parameter from the ones that can be supplied by the user. --- configure.ac | 8 ++++---- src/launch-direct.c | 12 ++++++++---- src/launch.c | 1 + 3 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 8

- generator: Added tsk_dirent struct The tsk_dirent struct contains the information gathered via TSK APIs. The struct contains the following fields: * tsk_inode: inode of a file * tsk_type: type of file such as for dirwalk command * tsk_size: file size in bytes * tsk_name: path relative to its disk partition * tsk_flags: bitfield containing extra information - configure: Added libtsk

Two (not related to each other) refactorings: Patches 1-12 split configure.ac into smaller files using the m4_include mechanism. Patches 13-15 split out parts of guestfs.pod (ie. guestfs(3)) into three new manual pages: guestfs-hacking(3) - how to extend and contribute to libguestfs guestfs-internals(3) - architecture and internals guestfs-security(3) - security and CVEs Patch 16 is a

Previously the OCaml compiler was only required if building from git but was at least theoretically optional if building from tarballs (although this was never tested). Since we want to write parts of the daemon in OCaml, this makes OCaml required for all builds. Note that the ‘--disable-ocaml’ option remains, but it now only disables OCaml bindings and OCaml virt tools. Using this option does

This is just an initial version of the patch, not to be applied. It implements just the diskgroup functions, ie. corresponding to these ldmtool commands: * ldmtool scan * ldmtool show diskgroup <guid> I have chosen yajl as the JSON parsing library (don't worry, this is optional). You will also, of course, need ldmtool which is not packaged in anything except Fedora. Rich.

The test for febootstrap-to-initramfs' --nocompress option was always failing for me on F11. Here's why: $ bash ~/w/co/libguestfs:210-comment-fix $ t=`febootstrap-to-initramfs 2>&1` [Exit 1] $ if ! echo $t|grep -sq -- --nocompress; then echo not found; fi not found Notice: without quotes, the [--nocompress] term expands to "k",

While YAJL mostly works fine, it did not see any active development in the last 3 years. OTOH, Jansson is another JSON C implementation, with a very liberal license, and a much nicer API. Hence, switch all of libguestfs from YAJL to Jansson: - configure checks, and buildsystem in general - packages pulled in the appliance - actual implementations - contrib scripts - documentation This also
