[Libguestfs] Attention packagers: libguestfs 1.27.21: firstboot support and Windows

Starting in libguestfs 1.27.21, we're able to install firstboot scripts into Windows guests. Initially this is just for virt-v2v, but I will extend the feature to virt-sysprep/virt-customize. How this may affect Debian and other downstream packagers is as follows: In order to do this we have to install a program called 'rhsrvany.exe'. If this program is found in /usr/share/virt-tools/rhsrvany.exe then it is copied into the Windows guest and the registry of the guest is modified so that rhsrvany will run once at next boot. rhsrvany then chain-runs the actual firstboot script (usually a .bat file). rhsrvany is a Windows program that was written by Red Hat, comes with source, and is under a GPLv2+ license. However it does require the 32 bit mingw-w64 [sic] toolchain to build. The source is here: https://github.com/rwmjones/rhsrvany This is how we build it in Fedora (look at the .spec file): http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mingw-srvany.git/tree/ Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
