Description

I am using Fedora 13 as a testbed for a possible RHEL 6.1 package. This package is based on stable branch 1.4, with significant features backported from the development branch. We are using git to manage the patches. Latest Fedora package, search for 'fc13' here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/libguestfs Package spec file and patches: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libguestfs.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/f13/master;hb=refs/heads/f13/master The base version and backports are encoded in the version number: f13$ guestfish --version guestfish 1.4.3+fastdf+luks+islv+inspection+ext2+serial+core Amongst the significant enhancements over 1.2.7: - big performance improvements - use of virtio-serial instead of SLIRP - all APIs required by virt-v2v are included or backported - all bugfixes required by virt-v2v similarly - virt-resize supports Windows guests - FUSE module works in write mode - other features are covered in the 1.4.0 release notes https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-July/msg00033.html We would like to rebase to 1.6. This includes all the 1.4 fixes, so the previous testing is still valid. List of upstream feature and bug fix work is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&field0-0-0=cf_devel_whiteboard&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=MODIFIED&bug_status=ON_DEV&bug_status=ON_QA&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=FAILS_QA&bug_status=RELEASE_PENDING&bug_status=POST&bug_status=PASSES_QA&type0-0-0=anywords&value0-0-0=1.6&component=libguestfs&product=Virtualization%20Tools&classification=Other There are some test packages here: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/rhel6.1-libguestfs-preview/ Announcement: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-November/msg00059.html Setting back to ASSIGNED. There are several problems with the packages from comment 17 (however, *please* still test those): 1. Should package libguestfs-winsupport 2. Should require febootstrap 2.11 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628849#c5 3. Need to backport the C tools from upstream for RHEV-H and change the packaging slightly so that nothing we need for RHEV-H will require perl. https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/buildinfo?buildID=150467 (In reply to comment #19) > 1. Should package libguestfs-winsupport Turns out this is not required. You can continue to use the current libguestfs-winsupport[a] package with this newer libguestfs. [a] https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/buildinfo?buildID=136679 > 2. Should require febootstrap 2.11 > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628849#c5 Done: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/buildinfo?buildID=150384 > 3. Need to backport the C tools from upstream for > RHEV-H and change the packaging slightly so that > nothing we need for RHEV-H will require perl. Done. The new subpackage is called libguestfs-tools-c. If you install libguestfs-tools (Perl tools) it will pull in libguestfs-tools-c as well. If you install libguestfs-tools-c, you will just get the C tools and there should be no Perl dependency at all.
