With the release of RHEL 7.3 happening today, fixing 88 reported bugs in libguestfs and virt-v2v, and countless other ones, it's time to look ahead to RHEL 7.4. Again we intend to rebase libguestfs, virt-v2v and virt-p2v: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1359086 1359086 NEW Rebase libguestfs in RHEL 7.4 To help with testing I have set up a preview repository here: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview/ 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&gt;. 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. - There is currently a bogus dependency on 'kernel-rt' which shouldn't be there ... under investigation.
