[Libguestfs] [PATCH v2 2/2] customize: add globbing for --delete

Support globbing in paths passed to --delete, telling glob to not return directories with leading slash. This re-adds back globbing for --delete in virt-sysprep, which was available before the integration with common code from virt-customize. --- customize/customize_run.ml | 2 +- generator/customize.ml | 6 ++++++ 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/customize/customize_run.ml b/customize/customize_run.ml index 84f634b..82c4edd 100644 --- a/customize/customize_run.ml +++ b/customize/customize_run.ml @@ -191,7 +191,7 @@ exec >>%s 2>&1 | `Delete path -> message (f_"Deleting: %s") path; - g#rm_rf path + Array.iter g#rm_rf (g#glob_expand ~directoryslash:false path) | `Edit (path, expr) -> message (f_"Editing: %s") path; diff --git a/generator/customize.ml b/generator/customize.ml index 19aec81..d272ffb 100644 --- a/generator/customize.ml +++ b/generator/customize.ml @@ -115,6 +115,12 @@ Wildcards cannot be used."; Delete a file from the guest.
