RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2018:0677 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE libguestfs new packages, bug fix and enhancement update 2018-04-10 13:13:49 UTC

Description Jaroslav Suchanek 2017-07-18 10:40:20 UTC
Description of problem:

libguestfs upstream maintains a very strong commitment to backwards
compatibility.  We have never broken the C API, and (apart from
one notorious occasion with virt-inspector that happened a long
time ago) never break backwards compat for command line tools either.

Therefore it makes sense to rebase libguestfs in RHEL 7.5.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Current upstream version of libguestfs.

Comment 5 Jaroslav Suchanek 2017-12-11 13:14:00 UTC
Pino, can please share news for release notes? Thanks.

Comment 6 Pino Toscano 2018-01-23 17:32:42 UTC
Except from internal code refactoring, and small bugfixes already documented in other bugs (or not worth being documented), the rebase does not contain anything else notable.
