These patches combine HVSource and HVTarget into a single Converter. This should make it more obvious where to hack without losing any practical flexibility.
GuestOS remains separate. GuestOS is now a misnomer, because it's really only a Linux distro abstraction. It will be useless for Windows, for example. Functions which you'd expect to be different on a non-RH distro should live in GuestOS. By this measure it's currently too fat. I'll gradually move non-distro specific things out of it as I touch them.
I think I'd have made it into an actual "big script", like virt-p2v, but I appreciate that requires a different language, one which is strongly typed and has compiler support for checking qualified unions (hmm I wonder which?). ACK. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v
