Hmm, that's strange. listStoragePools certainly doesn't take 3 arguments
where I am. What host distro and libvirt version are you using? Are you
using distro packages or built from source?

[This is the only time I'll send this announcement to qemu-devel]

I'm pleased to announce the release of a new stable version of
libguestfs, the library for accessing and modifying virtual machine
disk images.  Based on around qemu and Linux kernel code, this can be
used as a library or from scripts to make batch configuration changes
to guests, view and edit config files inside guests, and much more.

  http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/

Source:
  http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/files/libguestfs-1.0.41.tar.gz

Fedora 11+ packages:
  (Available soon in F11 updates-testing or directly from Koji:
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=104824)

RHEL/CentOS 5 packages:
  (Being uploaded to EPEL now, available soon)

Debian packages:
  http://www.annexia.org/tmp/debian/

Since the last announcement, many bugs have been fixed and features
added.  The main highlights are:

 - squashfs and cramfs support
 - better support for read-only access to drives
 - many problems with string handling in different language bindings
   have been fixed
 - internationalization support
 - ext4 support improved on RHEL 5
 - improved support for running commands in the guest
 - support for skipping tests
 - lvresize and ext2/3 resize support
 - pvremove, vgremove, lvremove commands
 - sleep command
 - IRC channel #libguestfs on FreeNode

Bugs fixed:

501761 - libguestfs requires qemu, not qemu-system-x86 or qemu-system-ppc
501878 - guestfish built-in commands like 'alloc' and 'help' don't autocomplete
501883 - javadoc messed up in libguestfs java documentation
501885 - Doesn't detect missing Java, --with-java-home=no should not be needed
501892 - OptString parameters not handled properly in bindings
502309 - libguestfs build failure - tests occasionally fail with 'ranlib:
  './libmlguestfs.a': No such file'
502533 - Polish translation of libguestfs
503133 - "mkdir-p" should not throw errors on preexisting directories
503135 - cramfs and squashfs modules should be available in libguestfs
  appliances
503169 - libguestfs /dev is too sparse for kernel installation/upgrade

Thanks to Charles Duffy for a number of patches and suggestions.

Rich.

libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.  Supports shell scripting,
bindings from many languages.  http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/

Can this be applied?

Ahh, sorry, I forgot about this. It's pushed now.

Thanks,

Thanks, applied. I fixed the AUTHORS attribution in the following commit:

http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virt-manager--devel/rev/39367e0cbccb

This is now upstream: we will set the 'tap' default if installing a PV
guest:

http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virtinst--devel/rev/ab66c26436cf

If creating a standalone VirtualDisk instance though, the default won't
be set, since we don't know what type of guest it will be attached to.

I'm using virt-manager 0.6.0 on a Fedora 10 host and I just noticed
that clicking on Help > Contents F1 does not do anything. Is this the
usual behavior?

Likewise, where can I see the documentation for virt-manager?
