Name : libguestfs Product : Fedora 14 Version : 1.6.2 Release : 1.fc14.4 URL : http://libguestfs.org/ Summary : Access and modify virtual machine disk images Description : Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration changes to guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also: virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also: virt-p2v), performing partial backups, performing partial guest clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and much else besides. Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk. Libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions, LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.). It can also run commands in the context of the guest. Libguestfs is a library that can be linked with C and C++ management programs. See also the 'guestfish' package for shell scripting and command line access, and 'libguestfs-mount' for mounting guest filesystems on the host using FUSE. For Perl bindings, see 'perl-libguestfs'. For OCaml bindings, see 'ocaml-libguestfs-devel'. For Python bindings, see 'python-libguestfs'. For Ruby bindings, see 'ruby-libguestfs'. For Java bindings, see 'libguestfs-java-devel'. For PHP bindings, see 'php-libguestfs'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New stable branch version 1.6.2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Nov 18 2010 Richard Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.6.2-1.fc14.4 - New upstream stable branch version 1.6.2. - This version includes a make install rule that works for Ruby, so we can remove those instructions in the install section. - Add BR gperf. - Add BR febootstrap 2.10. - Remove BR ocaml-xml-light-devel. - Remove FIPS .*.hmac files from the supermin appliance (RHBZ#654638). * Tue Nov 2 2010 Richard Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.6.0-1.fc14.1 - New upstream stable branch 1.6, version 1.6.0. - virt-inspector now requires db_dump from db4-utils package. - Can use febootstrap 2.9 for now, but add a note that we should depend on febootstrap 2.10 as soon as that is in F14 stable. - Backport blockdev --rereadpt test fix. * Sat Oct 23 2010 Richard Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.5.23-1 - Fix for libguestfs: missing disk format specifier when adding a disk (RHBZ#642934, CVE-2010-3851). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #654638 - openssl updated to 1.0.0b libguestfs depends on exact file names https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654638 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
