    libguestfs
    Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying virtual machine
    disk images.  http://libguestfs.org
    It can be used to make batch configuration changes to guests, get
    disk used/free statistics (virt-df), migrate between hypervisors
    (virt-p2v, virt-v2v), perform backups and guest clones, change
    registry/UUID/hostname info, build guests from scratch (virt-builder)
    and much more.
    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 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is split into several subpackages.
    The basic subpackages are:
                   libguestfs  C library
             libguestfs-tools  virt-* tools, guestfish and guestmount (FUSE)
           libguestfs-tools-c  only the subset of virt tools written in C
                                 (for reduced dependencies)
                     virt-dib  safe and secure diskimage-builder replacement
                     virt-v2v  convert virtual or physical machines to run
                                 on KVM (also known as V2V and P2V)
    For enhanced features, install:
              libguestfs-gfs2  adds Global Filesystem (GFS2) support
     libguestfs-inspect-icons  adds support for inspecting guest icons
            libguestfs-rescue  enhances virt-rescue shell with more tools
             libguestfs-rsync  rsync to/from guest filesystems
               libguestfs-xfs  adds XFS support
    Language bindings:
             libguestfs-devel  C/C   header files and library
     libguestfs-gobject-devel  GObject bindings and GObject Introspection
        libguestfs-java-devel  Java bindings
                  lua-guestfs  Lua bindings
       ocaml-libguestfs-devel  OCaml bindings
             perl-Sys-Guestfs  Perl bindings
            python-libguestfs  Python bindings
              ruby-libguestfs  Ruby bindings
    virt-p2v
    Virt-p2v is a tool that converts physical machines to run under KVM.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2015-8869
    OCaml before 4.03.0 does not properly handle sign extensions, which
    allows remote attackers to conduct buffer overflow attacks or obtain
    sensitive information as demonstrated by a long string to the
    String.copy function.
    The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: libguestfs (1.32.7), virt-p2v
    (1.32.7).
    Additional Changes:
