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.

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-05-13 18:37:01 UTC
Description of problem:

We need to backport this upstream patch:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-May/msg00083.html

This will allow us to build libguestfs with optional parts of the
libguestfs appliance (in particular, an optional part for Windows
support for V2V).

This is a risky patch, and needs a lot more testing before I'll
even put it upstream.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-13 19:06:31 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 2 Lawrence Lim 2010-05-17 14:52:18 UTC
Hi Richard,
Do you have any suggestions on how we could test this patch effectively?

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-05-17 15:07:13 UTC
After installing the new package, just run:

libguestfs-test-tool

If that completes successfully, then it worked.

In general terms, this patch is so fundamental to the operation
of libguestfs that virtually any conceivable test of libguestfs/
guestfish/... that NAY have already implemented will test it.

Comment 7 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-07-02 19:23:08 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
