Hi all, Thanks Rich for CCing.
Now, I'm improving guestfsd package to provide access inside debian machine. I know some problems in libguestfs debian packaging: 1. debian/changelog deleting after second debuild(it run make clean, and for some reason this file marked as needed to delete) 2. on systems with kernel <2.6.36 guesfsd is useless, because it require virtio_serial to work. It could be built with vmchannel_test=no variable set. 3. Also febootstrap 3.2+ required(2.7 available in distro). I use febootstrap 3.6, that don't need insmod.static, and it works well. I build febootstrap 3.2, 3.6, 3.7 successfully on squeeze. I'm developing debian directory separately here https://github.com/librarian/libguestfs-debian On 19 July 2011 21:10, Richard W.M.
