[I have CC'd this to some people who have asked about libguestfs on Ubuntu on the mailing list.] I made some experimental, lightly tested, unsupported packages for Ubuntu available here: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/debian/ You will need Ubuntu 9.10 & amd64. These are based on the Debian packaging[1] done by Guido Gunther and Laurent Leonard, many thanks to them: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-libvirt/libguestfs.git;a=summary http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianLibvirtTeam The five Ubuntu patches from before are straight rebases, and you can find a few other things I changed in the sources. What is missing is libsys-virt-perl (Sys::Virt, the Perl bindings for libvirt). Since this doesn't exist on Ubuntu, you will have to supply it yourself, or install the package with a broken dependency (dpkg seems to allow this? - I was a bit surprised). Without this package, virt-inspector and a few other bits won't work. If you want help, please post on the mailing list: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs Rich. [1] The Debian packaging doesn't work on Debian, because of what appears to be a bug in fakeroot: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561991 -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora
