[PATCH v2] launch: add support for autodetection of appliance image format
by Pavel Butsykin
This feature allows you to use different image formats for the fixed
appliance. The raw format is used by default.

1.39 proposal: Let's split up the libguestfs git repo and tarballs
by Richard W.M. Jones
My contention is that the libguestfs git repository is too large and
unwieldy. There are too many separate, unrelated projects and as a
result of that the source has too many dependencies and takes too long
to build and test.
The project divides (sort of) naturally into layers -- the library,
the bindings, the various virt tools -- and could be split along those
lines into separate projects which can then be released and evolve at
their own pace.
My suggested split would be something like this:
* libguestfs: The library, daemon and appliance. That would include
the following directories in a single project:
appliance
bash
contrib
daemon
docs
examples
gnulib
lib
logo
test-tool
tmp
utils
website
* 1 project for each language binding:
csharp
erlang
gobject
golang
haskell
java
lua
ocaml
php
perl
python
ruby
* virt-customize and related tools, we'd probably call this subproject
"virt-builder". It would include virt-builder, virt-customize and
virt-sysprep, since they share a lot of common code.
* 1 project for each of the following items:
small tools written in C
(virt-cat, virt-filesystems, virt-log, virt-ls, virt-tail,
virt-diff, virt-edit, virt-format, guestmount, virt-inspector,
virt-make-fs, virt-rescue)
guestfish
virt-alignment-scan and virt-df
virt-dib
virt-get-kernel
virt-resize
virt-sparsify
virt-v2v and virt-p2v
virt-win-reg
* I'd be inclined to drop the legacy Perl tools virt-tar,
virt-list-filesystems, virt-list-partitions unless someone
especially wished to step forward to maintain them.
* common code and generator: Off to the side we'd somehow need to
package up the common code and the generator for use by all of the
above projects. It wouldn't be a separate project for downstream
packagers, but instead the code would be included (ie. duplicated)
in tarballs and upstream available as a side git repo that you'd
need to include when building (git submodule?). This is somewhat
unspecified.
M4, PO, and tests would be split between the projects as appropriate.
My proposal would be to do this incrementally, rather than all at
once, moving the easier things out first.
Thoughts?
Rich.

[PATCH 4/4] daemon: simplify string allocation
by Pino Toscano
When creating an helper string for do_aug_match(), use a simpler
asprintf() with manual free(), since the code block is small enough.
This slightly helps static code analyzers.

[nbdkit PATCH v2] tests: Skip guestfs code on CentOS 6
by Eric Blake
CentOS 6 has libguestfs-devel 1.20.11, which predates the support
in guestfs_add_drive_opts() for requesting an nbd drive instead
of a local file (annoyingly, guestfs documentation merely states
the function was available since 0.3, without saying which later
releases added new options); causing a compilation failure during
'make check'. Maybe the guestfs plugin should still be built,
even though the tests that use guestfs can't work without support
for GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL; but it's easier to just
declare that on this old platform, we'll just disable guestfs
integration altogether. With that in place, 'make check' now
runs to completion, passing 14 and skipping 5 remaining tests.

[PATCH v5 0/3] libguestfs: guestfs_list_filesystems: skip block devices which cannot hold file system
by Mykola Ivanets
This patch series:
1. Addresses comments from last review:
part_get_mbr_part_type doesn't break original implementation in C.
2. Rebased on top of master and little bit refactored for readability.
Mykola Ivanets (1):
tests: md: Test guestfish list-filesystems command skips partitioned
md devices.
Nikolay Ivanets (2):
daemon: Reimplement 'part_get_mbr_part_type' API in OCaml.
daemon: list-filesystems: Don't list partitions which cannot hold file
system.

[PATCH 3/4] common/qemuopts: use the old pointer as realloc pointer
by Pino Toscano
Call realloc() directly with the pointer to the old data, instead of
assigning it to the destination variable, and using that one. The rest
of the code is the same, already properly checking for the results of
realloc(), so this mostly help static code analyzers.
