These have not been updated in the FreeBSD portstree, just yet, however I have submitted patches to update the current port. virt-manager: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/159262 virtinst: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/159261 Thanks!

These were committed today to the FreeBSD portstree, so the latest is now available. Let me know if you have any issues, or any successes. I have yet a way to actually test if this works against a dom. Thanks!

- Use libguestfs to show guest packagelist and more (Richard W.M. Jones)
I had one complaint that the dependency on python-libguestfs pulls in qemu (from someone using virt-manager to remotely manage systems, so they don't want qemu locally and it wouldn't be any use to them for libguestfs). This is hard to solve, unless RPM grows soft dependencies like dpkg, which unfortunately has been rejected many times upstream even though it's a good feature of dpkg. We might _not_ make it a dependency at all. Virt-manager will still work, just without the enhanced inspection features. Just so you know ...

Yeah I had a similar report (or maybe the same one?) Figuring that we go to great pains in virt-manager to avoid having a dep on qemu or libvirtd (since virt-manager doesn't need either to be useful), we can't have a hard dep on libguestfs, so I'll be dropping it for the Fedora packages. Thanks, Cole

Make sure that python-libguestfs is included in the 'Virtualization' group of Fedora comps.xml then. So that when someone does 'yum groupinstall Virtualizaation' or selects Virtualization in Anaconda, they get all the bits by default Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

Done it. I added guestfs-browser as an optional component too. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.

Hi, I posted Japanese translation po file for virt-manager 0.9.0 via transifex.net. I always read python code for translation work. because virt-manager has so many difficult words about virtualization technology. I take some time. Could you merge po file to virt-manager 0.9.x?
