[PATCH] appliance: move virt-rescue welcome to /etc/issue
by Cédric Bosdonnat
To allow easier downstream tweaks to the virt-rescue welcome message,
just output the content of the /etc/issue file in the appliance.
Thus, a new extras.tar.gz file appeared in supermin.d containing
the etc/issue file and future tweaks like this one.

Plan for libguestfs 1.34
by Richard W.M. Jones
Libguestfs 1.32 was released on 2016-01-06, which is over 6 months
ago. In fact the previous stable version of libguestfs (1.30) was
released on 2015-07-21, almost exactly 12 months ago. Are we heading
for a 6 month release cycle? Not officially. Anyway, I would like
you to think about what needs work for the next stable 1.34 release.
Any new APIs added in the 1.33 cycle will become supported and
guaranteed when we release 1.34, so we need to check those. See:
git diff 1.32.0 -- generator/actions.ml
Please follow-up also if there are features / blockers / bugs that
need to be addressed for 1.34.
As usual, bugs which have "1.34" (without quotes) in the "Devel
Whiteboard" field in Bugzilla are nominated as blockers for the
release. You can see a list of those here (currently empty):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNE...
For a list of all bugs, go to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=libguestfs&product=Virt...

Help
by M.H. Hasan Bhuiyan
Dear sir,
I am a newbie in coding. I am using ubuntu 14.04 in my machine and
installed libguestfs by the following command:
sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools
I get to run guestfish properly from terminal. But as it happens I
want to write a program in C++ and i want to include the guestfs.h
file in the program. I have tried and searched many options but have
not found any. Is there something I am doing wrong? Can you please
help me getting the file. If you can show me a way then it would be
great cause I have been trying for three days in a row.
Thanks

virt-v2v
by Стаценко Константин Юрьевич
Hello!
Libguestfs in CentOS 7.2 is really old.
When it will be updated to more recent version to support Oracle Linux conversion via virt-v2v, for example ?
Thank you.

[PATCH] build: improve Gtk check
by Pino Toscano
Check the presence of Gtk properly depending on the value of --with-gtk:
if a specific version is chosen, then let PKG_CHECK_MODULES fail if that
version if not found, otherwise fallback from gtk3 to gtk2 to no gtk.
Also move few common AC_SUBST in a single place.

[PATCH] builder: fix EOF check with flex >= 2.6.1
by Pino Toscano
It looks like flex 2.6.1 changed [1] the return code for EOF in
yyinput. Therefore, use the right value depending on the version of
flex which generates the lexer.

[PATCH 0/5] Improve LVM handling in the appliance
by Pino Toscano
Hi,
this series improves the way LVM is used in the appliance: in
particular, now lvmetad can eventually run at all, and with the correct
configuration.
Also improve the listing strategies.
Thanks,
Pino Toscano (5):
daemon: lvm-filter: set also global_filter
daemon: lvm-filter: start lvmetad better
daemon: lvm: improve filter for LVs with activationskip flag set
daemon: lvm: list PVs/VGs/LVs with --foreign

- move lvmetad statup in own function (patch #2)

[PATCH] daemon: lvm: change the separator character to '\r'
by Pino Toscano
Commit b91b39e06ab7eb9b9b06c8b4dfef2ef9f381ab19 changed the separator to
':', although this creates parsing issues when there are fields with
colons (for example lv_tags=imgbased:pool).
Change once more the separator, but this time using a non-printable
character such as '\r': while it will produce uglier debug logs, this
should greatly reduce the possibilities of conflicts with texts of
metadata.
