Hi,
just a short heads up about the current status of libguestfs on Debian:
Current git master builds and works fine on Debian sid. The only change
you have to make is to use a custom kernel instead of the one in
squeeze/sid by pointing DEBIRF_KERNEL_PACKAGE in
appliance/debian/debirf.conf to something recent enough (>= 2.6.35)
like:
DEBIRF_KERNEL_PACKAGE=/foo/linux-image-2.6.36-rc7+_2.6.36-rc7+-20_i386.deb
Otherwise libguesfsd quits early since the virtio-serial device won't be
created in the guest.
It works, but this warning message is definitely a bug:
sh: febootstrap-supermin-helper: command not found
BTW, unless users upgrade from the 2.6.26 (Debian 5) *host* kernel to
something more recent like 2.6.32 then they will run into this glibc
bug (as I did):
