Forgive me if this is the wrong area to ask this question. I'm happy to inquire to a diff list if that's better.

From:

"Downloads

For source see the downloads directory.

In Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

sudo yum install libguestfs-tools On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools Open a disk image:

guestfish --ro -i -a disk.img Other distros, compiling from source ..."

So on Ubunu Server 14:

What is 'Ubuntu Server 14'? Is that 14.04? Two things would help here: (1) libguestfs >= 1.26 supports splitting out large dependencies like GFS2/ZFS/... Unfortunately 14.04 has libguestfs 1.24 which doesn't support this, but later versions of Ubuntu have it. For more background on this see: http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/analysis-of-the-size-of-libguestfs-depe... (2) In Fedora we split the 'libguestfs-tools' package into: - libguestfs-tools-c : Contains just the tools written in C & OCaml. - libguestfs-tools : Depends on libguestfs-tools-c and contains the additional tools written in Perl. - virt-v2v : virt-p2v & virt-v2v have additional dependencies so I have packaged those separately. This removes the need to depend on Perl packages in the common case where you only want the main tools. For more information see: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libguestfs.git/tree/libguestfs.spec#n1004 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libguestfs.git/tree/libguestfs.spec#n1066 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libguestfs.git/tree/libguestfs.spec#n1078 This is something to ask Hilko about. Rich.

I'm thinking this might be better? ~:% sudo apt-get install --no-recommends libguestfs-tools

Also, does anyone know how long http://virt-tools.org has been down?
