This is a simple change now that we fixed the bindings upstream.

https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/libguestfs/-/merge_requests/30

As this is a new package, we'd like to ship it in CRB (unsupported).
I don't know if I need to adjust comps to make that happen.

Yes.

It's fairly straightforward to adjust comps, here's an example of how it's done: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/comps/-/merge_requests/234

The build available (https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=23220) works based on internal testing, but there was something odd: the extension reports its version as 1.0 rather than the actual libguestfs version.

The PHP extension version is hard-coded as 1.0, see:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/60e8ea0312d94860403c956f0f12d491743d3fdd/generator/php.ml#L47
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/60e8ea0312d94860403c956f0f12d491743d3fdd/generator/php.ml#L261

Since the libguestfs version can only be found at runtime, I don't know
if it would be possible to change this.

FWIW this is how you can print the guestfs library (runtime) version:

<?php

$g = guestfs_create ();
if ($g == false) {
  echo ("Failed to create guestfs_php handle.\n");
  exit;
}
$version = guestfs_version ($g);
printf ("version == %s.%s.%s%s\n", $version["major"],
        $version["minor"], $version["release"],
        $version["extra"]);

?>

Well, we know the version at build-time, don't we? So we could at least inject that into there, so we know what version of php-guestfs was built. That's particularly useful for things like composer, which can evaluate php extension dependencies by querying for the extension version.

Good to know, thanks!

The php-libguestfs-1.48.3-3.el9 package has been built: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=2054404. Will check whether the php-libguestfs package is included in CRB once libguestfs-1.48.3.3 is involved in the rhel9.1 nightly compose repo.

It won't be, since comps hasn't been adjusted yet: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/comps/-/commits/main

Oddly no, we don't have the version at build time.  The generator
is deliberately written not to insert version strings (or anything
that changes often) into the generated bindings.

CRB request is here:
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/comps/-/merge_requests/254

php-libguestfs-1.48.3-3.el9.x86_64.rpm package has been included in the latest rhel9.1 nightly compose: https://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/rhel-9/nightly/RHEL-9/latest-RHEL-9.1.0/compose/CRB/x86_64/os/Packages/
