-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-2601 2013-02-17 02:44:14 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libguestfs Product : Fedora 18 Version : 1.20.2 Release : 5.fc18 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. For high level virt tools, guestfish (shell scripting and command line access), and guestmount (mount guest filesystems using FUSE), install 'libguestfs-tools'. For shell scripting and command line access, install 'guestfish'. To mount guest filesystems on the host using FUSE, install 'libguestfs-mount'. For Erlang bindings, install 'erlang-libguestfs'. For GObject bindings and GObject Introspection, install 'libguestfs-gobject-devel'. For Java bindings, install 'libguestfs-java-devel'. For Lua bindings, install 'lua-guestfs' For OCaml bindings, install 'ocaml-libguestfs-devel'. For Perl bindings, install 'perl-Sys-Guestfs'. For PHP bindings, install 'php-libguestfs'. For Python bindings, install 'python-libguestfs'. For Ruby bindings, install 'ruby-libguestfs'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - New upstream stable branch version 1.20.2. - Adds libguestfs-gobject-1.0.pc. - Java bindings use OpenJDK instead of GCJ. - Note that in Fedora 18 btrfs and xfs are both broken (nothing to do with libguestfs). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Feb 15 2013 Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.20.2-4 - Disable xfs_growfs test because xfs is broken on F18 (see RHBZ#909602). - Disable virt-make-fs using btrfs (because of RHBZ#863978). - Depend on openjdk instead of GCJ-based java. - Add libguestfs-gobject-1.0.pc. - Add explicit dependency on libcap, needed by the appliance. * Thu Feb 14 2013 Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.20.2-2 - New upstream stable branch version 1.20.2. * Fri Jan 18 2013 Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.20.1-3 - Bump and rebuild. * Thu Dec 20 2012 Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.20.1-2 - New upstream stable branch version 1.20.1. - Remove all RHEL-specific hacks since I've now branched RHEL 7. - Add BR yajl-devel (RHBZ#887812). * Mon Dec 17 2012 Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.20.0-2 - Use 'make check -k' so we get to see all test failures at once. - For RHEL 7: * Do not depend on perl(Expect) (only needed to test virt-rescue). * Depend on /usr/bin/qemu-img instead of qemu-img package, since the package name (but not the binary) is different in RHEL 7. * Add workaround for libvirt/KVM bug RHBZ#878406. * Do not depend on libvirt-daemon-qemu. * Do not depend on libldm (not yet in RHEL 7: RHBZ#887894). * Thu Dec 13 2012 Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> - 1:1.20.0-1 - New upstream version 1.20.0. - New source URL for this branch. - Reconcile upstream packagelist, BRs and Requires lists. - Requires newest SELinux policy so that SVirt works. - Fix patch 2. Actually, remove and replace with a small script. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #909624 - Unexpected non-tail recursion in recv_from_daemon results in stack overflow in very long-running API calls that send progress messages https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909624 [ 2 ] Bug #909836 - libguestfs-test-tool --qemu segfaults https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909836 [ 3 ] Bug #903620 - btrfs_subvolume_list broken due to change in subvolume list output https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903620 [ 4 ] Bug #908322 - virt-tar fails on non-existent directory names "error in chunked encoding at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tools/virt-tar line 272." https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908322 [ 5 ] Bug #908321 - virt-cat fails on directory names "/dev/stdout: error in chunked encoding" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908321 [ 6 ] Bug #905341 - "No such file or directory" when execute "hivex-commit" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905341 [ 7 ] Bug #895910 - guestmount: rename() incorrectly follows symbolic links https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895910 [ 8 ] Bug #895905 - guestmount: link() incorrectly returns ENOENT, when it should be EXDEV https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895905 [ 9 ] Bug #895904 - checksums-out fail to compute the checksums of all regular files in directory https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895904 [ 10 ] Bug #894545 - libguestfs FTBFS on Fedora 19 because of new ruby https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894545 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
