Plan for libguestfs 1.26
It has been 3 months since the last stable release of libguestfs. I'd like to plan a new 1.26 release towards the middle/end of next month. There are some virt-builder features I'd like to get in before then: - virt-builder needs to be able to use Linux distro published cloud images as a source (without requiring a lot of manual config as now) - virt-builder must be able to build overlays Please follow-up if there are other features / blockers / bugs that need to be addressed for 1.26. As usual, bugs which have "1.26" (without quotes) in the Devel Whiteboard field in Bugzilla are nominated as blockers for the release. You can see a list of those here, currently empty: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=MODIFIED&bug_status=ON_DEV&bug_status=ON_QA&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=FAILS_QA&bug_status=RELEASE_PENDING&bug_status=POST&bug_status=PASSES_QA&component=libguestfs&field0-0-0=cf_devel_whiteboard&list_id=2137003&product=Virtualization%20Tools&query_format=advanced&type0-0-0=anywords&value0-0-0=1.26 or http://tinyurl.com/mtr47e5 For a list of all bugs, go to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=libguestfs&product=Virtualization+Tools Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines. Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages. http://libguestfs.org
I'm hoping to make the next stable libguestfs 1.26 release by the end of the week, so if anyone has any suggestions / features / bug fixes for that, better speak up now ..

It just occured to me this morning that we can't provide proper (robust) support for Debian multi-arch setups with the way supermin currently operates. The scenario described by Laurent Bigonville in his bug report (#742283) could probably be solved by ignoring the architecture of packages to include, but doing so would open up a chance of breakage with library packages.

I'll see if I can reproduce this on my Debian/experimental(-ish) machine, and if so what I can do about it.
