Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : virt-v2v Version : 1.42.0 Upstream Author : Richard W.M. Jones, Red Hat Inc. * URL : http://libguestfs.org/ * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: OCaml Description : Convert a guest from a foreign hypervisor to run on KVM
Virt-v2v converts a single guest from a foreign hypervisor to run on KVM. It can read Linux and Windows guests running on VMware, Xen, Hyper-V and some other hypervisors, and convert them to KVM managed by libvirt, OpenStack, oVirt, Red Hat Virtualisation (RHV) or several other targets. It can modify the guest to make it bootable on KVM and install virtio drivers so it will run quickly. It was developed as part of libguestfs from 1.28 up to 1.41.7, and has since been split into its own repository.[1][2][3] It was shipped in buster and it would be great to see it return to sid. I whipped up a package for my own use.[4] It is functional, but I'm still following up on a few issues with upstream. Deficiencies I'm aware of are noted in debian/TODO.md. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
