Hi I've been looking for a standalone tool to create OVA/OVF VM files

on a disk image and found none. So I was thinking to write my own. Would you be interested in having such a tool in the libguestfs umbrella ?
There is this:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=import-to-ovirt.git
which can generate OVF, and with not very much extra work could generate OVAs.
The problem is that OVF is not a reliable standard. Sure, there is a standards organization behind it, but there is in practice no interop. You have to know the target hypervisor in order to be able to create OVF which will work, and the OVF is quite different for each target.
Thanks for the hint for import-to-ovirt, the code is easy to read and follow, and is close to what I want to achieve.
A good part of the script is ovirt specific but I am going to reuse the part where you generate the OVF file.
I'll send you a link when I have something to show.

So I adapted on my spare time import-to-ovirt and I have now my import2vbox. I had to adapt the generated ovf and disable the rh(e)v specific stuff but nothing extraordinary complicated.
