[PATCH] Default to IDE when VirtIO isn't available
by Matthew Booth
Previously we used SCSI when VirtIO wasn't available. KVM's SCSI support is not
as mature as its IDE support, and SCSI isn't supported at all in RHEV.

[PATCH] Add LocalCopy transfer method to transfer local files to a target
by Matthew Booth
Also changes command line parsing to require a pool to be specified when using
libvirt output, meaning storage will always be copied.

Proposed change in the version numbering system
by Richard W.M. Jones
At the moment I post new versions when I feel there has been a
significant amount of work and/or time passed since the previous
release. This however does not give a good indication of the quality
of the release, for example if it includes mainly bugfixes and
stability improvements, or bleeding edge features.
Therefore I would like to propose a change to the way that libguestfs
versions are numbered. This is modeled on the old Linux kernel scheme.
Each version will be:
1.X.Y
We won't change the initial '1' unless at some point in the future we
decided to release a non-backwards-compatible libguestfs. There are
no plans to do this.
X is the "series". Even number == stable. Odd number == development.
Y increments on every release in the series.
Because I'm happy with 1.0.89, this will become the first stable
version:
1.2.0
Thus the next development versions will be:
1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, ...
During this time we will backport selected bug fixes and stability
improvements (only!) to:
1.2.1, 1.2.2, ...
At some point when sufficient new features have accrued we will decide
to make a new stable release and a new development series at the same
time:
1.4.0 (stable release)
1.5.0 (new development release)
(Note that 1.2.0, 1.4.0, .. themselves might not be stable, since they
are just a fork of a development release, but by continuing
development, finding bugs and backporting them, the 1.2, 1.4, ..
branches should stabilize over time).
I will also add branches in git at the appropriate points.
I will continue to push the latest development version into Rawhide as
quickly as possible, but for released versions of Fedora (eg. the
up-coming Fedora 13) I will stick to stable releases only.
I hope all of this makes sense. If anyone has any questions or
objections, please follow-up to this message.
Rich.
PS. Sorry that the git repo is still down. After we moved the server
we had an unexpected hardware problem, and I'm moving the server to
new hardware today.

The exit code makes user confused while using '-' prefixed subcommands
by Qixiang Wan
guestfish returns 0 if the commands completed without error, or 1 if there was an error.
But the rule break when we use '-' prefix subcommands:
------------------------------------
$ guestfish <<\EOF
> blabla
> EOF
blabla: unknown command
$ echo $?
1
$ guestfish <<\EOF
-blabla
EOF
blabla: unknown command
$ echo $?
0
------------------------------------
I think it should be more reasonable to make the behaviours keeping identical with the rule.

It's a gnulib bug. I'm not sure what, but you can generally skip
these, or report the bug directly to the gnulib upstream:
