virt-clone.
The releases can be downloaded from:
http://virt-manager.org/download.html
The direct download links are:

- Allow viewing and changing disk serial number
The virtinst release includes:
- virt-install: Various improvements to enable LXC/container guests:
- New --filesystem option for <filesystem> devices
- New --init option for container <init> path
- New --container option (similar to --paravirt or --hvm)

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release through testing,
bug reporting, submitting patches, and otherwise sending in feedback!
Thanks,

These have not been updated in the FreeBSD portstree, just yet, however I
have submitted patches to update the current port.

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! Jason

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,

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

Done it. I added guestfs-browser as an optional component too.

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?
Best regards,
Taira
