Just a friendly reminder that RHEL 7.4 preview packages of libguestfs
and virt-v2v are available. You should be able to use them on top of
either RHEL 7.3 or CentOS 7.3.

Instructions below.
Rich.
As always:
(1) THE PACKAGES ARE NOT SUPPORTED! Do not contact Red Hat Support
about these packages. However you are welcome to file bugs or send
comments to <libguestfs(a)redhat.com>. The link for filing bugs is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%...
(2) These packages should work on top of RHEL 7.3 or CentOS 7.3.
(3) To install the packages you should create a yum repo file like the
one below, and then use yum commands as normal:
$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview.repo
[libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview]
name=libguestfs RHEL 7.4 preview
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Notable changes in packaging:
- The 'virt-v2v' package now only includes virt-v2v, not virt-p2v.
- To build your own virt-p2v bootable USB key, install 'virt-p2v-maker'.
- virt-v2v installs Windows virtio drivers using a new technique
which tries to make the minimal possible changes to the Windows
registry. This may create exciting new bugs, so I'm particularly
interested in further testing in this area.
