fedoostrap or deboostrap requirement
by Piavlo
Hi,
While trying to ./configure libguestfs on gentoo fails since it requires
feboostrap or deboostrap
Can this be made optional and not as necessary requirement, since there
are still many useful uses for libguestfs
besides bootstrapping, which can be used on distros like gentoo.
Thanks

[PATCH] Use grub entries to find Linux kernels
by Matthew Booth
This change adds grub parsing to Lib.pm. It adds the following structure to $os:
{boot}
->{configs}
->[0]
->{title} = "Fedora (2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686.PAE)"
->{kernel} = \kernel
->{cmdline} = "ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_mbooth-lv_root rhgb"
->{initrd} = \initrd
->{default} = 0
The kernel and initrd entries are just references to their top level entries
under kernels and initrd_modules respectively.
It also changes the way Linux kernels and initrd are discovered. Instead of
searching /lib/modules and /boot for files with matching names, kernels and
initrds are scanned as they are discovered in grub.conf.

[PATCH] Fix broken qemu <= 0.10 which randomly adds a CD-ROM device to the appliance
by Richard W.M. Jones
qemu <= 0.10 randomly adds a CD-ROM device to the appliance because of
this bit of code:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/qemu.git/tree/vl.c?h=stable-0.10#n5495
Thankfully this code has been removed from upstream qemu.
Anyway I'm not quite sure why we never saw this before - it seems like
this code didn't exist in the versions of qemu that were in Fedora, or
somehow this code only runs some of the time. But anyway, this breaks
the tests in Fedora 11 and RHEL 5.3 right now.
The attached code attempts to work around this stupidity by adding
checks in list_devices and list_partitions to see if the device is
openable, and ignoring any which aren't. These fake, empty CD drives
fail this extra check with error "No medium found", so they get
ignored.
[I'm still running all the tests with this patch, so not quite sure if
it's correct.]
Rich.

Hi,
I just got the same issue, and tried your advices.
After installing debian-archive-keyring, I ran the following command:
./configure --with-repo=jaunty
--with-mirror=http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
but when I run "make" I get the following error:
Loading profile 'debian'...
debirf: clearing old debirf root...
debirf: creating debirf root...
failed to open configuration file `/root/.dpkg.cfg' for reading:
Permission denied
So I run "make" as root, even if it is not recommended. Now I get the
following error:
debirf: creating debirf root...
I: Retrieving Release
I: Retrieving Release.gpg
I: Checking Release signature
E: Release signed by unknown key (key id 40976EAF437D05B5)
I ran the following commands but I still get the same error:
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5
gpg --export 437D05B5 >> ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg
sudo apt-key add ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True
Any hints ?

[PATCH] build: fix test for --nocompress option
by Jim Meyering
The test for febootstrap-to-initramfs' --nocompress option
was always failing for me on F11. Here's why:
$ bash ~/w/co/libguestfs:210-comment-fix
$ t=`febootstrap-to-initramfs 2>&1`
[Exit 1]
$ if ! echo $t|grep -sq -- --nocompress; then echo not found; fi
not found
Notice: without quotes, the [--nocompress] term expands to "k",
because I happen to have a temporary file named "k":
$ echo $t
Usage: febootstrap-to-initramfs [--files=filelist] k DIR Please read
febootstrap-to-initramfs(8) man page for more information.
$ echo "$t"
Usage: febootstrap-to-initramfs [--files=filelist] [--nocompress] DIR
Please read febootstrap-to-initramfs(8) man page for more information.
a simpler example gives a clue:
$ touch a b c
$ echo [--z]
a b c
$ echo [--a]
a
$ echo [--b]
a b
it's interpreting [--nocompress] as a range: "-" through "n", plus
the other characters, ocmpres. "k" falls in the --n range.
Anyhow, here's the fix:
