Virt-v2v is a program for converting virtual machines to run on KVM, ones imported from other hypervisors like VMware, Xen and more, and with the companion tool virt-p2v from physical machines too. I'm pleased to announce the release of virt-v2v 1.42. This is a new stable branch. Significantly the tool is now released separately and on a different schedule from libguestfs. Manual:

Hi Mike, in 2013 you added the support for SUSE guests in the old virt-v2v (the one written in Perl); the commit doing it is attached, since the old virt-v2v was hosted on fedorahosted.org, which is no more. As part of that change, the default graphics driver was changed to be cirrus for SUSE guests, and qxl (as before) for any other. When Rich Jones rewrote virt-v2v in 2014 in OCaml, he kept

Hi, after the latest changes, I think that the split of virt-p2v should be completed at this point. I have a local branch of libguestfs to track the removal of virt-p2v, and I do not see anything more left of virt-p2v after removing all the bits already converted/moved. Rich, I think it would be good for you to take a look at it, and check whether everything is in order e.g. for releases -- no
