ANNOUNCE: libguestfs & virt-v2v & virt-p2v RHEL 7.2 preview packages available
[The subject line isn't strictly correct, as virt-p2v packages aren't available right now, but will be shortly] If you are running RHEL 7.1 then you may be interested in trying out the newer RHEL 7.2 preview versions of: - libguestfs - virt-v2v (Technical Preview in RHEL 7.1, Supported in RHEL 7.2) - virt-p2v (Technical Preview in RHEL 7.2) To install the preview repository, copy the attached file into /etc/yum.repos.d/ Then use this command to update virt-v2v: yum install virt-v2v libguestfs-tools-c libguestfs-xfs To convert Windows guests you'll also need libguestfs-winsupport which is finally available in RHN (V2VWIN channel) or you can get it from http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-winsupport/ Please note these packages are *not* supported by Red Hat. If you find bugs, please file them using the link below: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%207&component=libguestfs To downgrade back to the RHEL 7.1 supported packages, delete /etc/yum.repos.d/libguestfs-RHEL-7.2-preview.repo , uninstall libguestfs, then reinstall libguestfs from RHN. I have not tested these packages on CentOS 7.1, but they will probably work there too, and if they don't then let me know.

If you are running RHEL 7.2 betas or snapshots (or RHEL 7.2 when it comes out next month) then you may be interested in trying out the newer RHEL 7.3 preview versions of: - libguestfs - virt-v2v (Supported since RHEL 7.2) - virt-p2v (Technical Preview in RHEL 7.2, Supported in RHEL 7.3) I intend to release upstream 1.32 towards the end of this year, and rebase libguestfs to that version. For details, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1218766#c1 To install the preview repository, copy the attached file into /etc/yum.repos.d/ Then use this command to update virt-v2v: yum install virt-v2v libguestfs-tools-c libguestfs-xfs To convert Windows guests you'll also need libguestfs-winsupport which is finally available in base RHEL 7.2.
