Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
Run the following command over the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[01][0-9])-2016/$1-2017/g' `git ls-files`
(Thanks Rich for the perl snippet, as used in past years.)
- /usr/lib{,64}/gconv/*:
This is the iconv data, required for APIs like iconv_open to work. In
particular, the mtools 'mcopy' program fails completely if it cannot
use iconv. 'mcopy' is used by SYSLINUX to copy files to the disk.
The error you would have seen is:
Error converting to codepage 850 Invalid argument
Cannot initialize 'S:'
Bad target s:/ldlinux.sys
- /usr/bin/localedef and /usr/sbin/build-locale-archive:
These are not really needed, but both are simply small binaries so we
might as well not delete them.
For the rationale behind this renaming, see:

You can still, for the time being, use
./configure --with-febootstrap-yum-config
but it's preferred to switch to the new option. The new option is
identical, just renamed.
Qe still pass the deprecated --yum-config option to febootstrap
itself, since both old and new febootstrap support this.
This allows the febootstrap --yum-config option to be passed through,
allowing a separate yum configuration to be used.
The hope is that this will enable building in Koji.
This removes all support for building the ordinary / old
style appliance using febootstrap 2.x, debootstrap, debirf,
fakeroot and fakechroot.
Instead this uses febootstrap 3.x to build the supermin appliance
in a simpler cross-distro manner.
There's no need to have the appliance filename contain the
repository name it was built from, and this change gives
downstream users more freedom to mix and match libraries
and appliances if they want to.
The appliance was being completely rebuilt every time guestfsd was updated. This
was because make.sh depended on guestfsd, which it had to do because it
called update.sh to install guestfsd.
This fix removes the call to update.sh in make.sh, and therefore the dependency
on guestfsd. The Makefile already includes a rule to run update.sh when guestfsd
is updated, so this was unnecessary.
Since changing to use link local address
(commit fbf29976b3)
we have included an incorrect resolv.conf file in the appliance
which points to the old (qemu) DNS server. This commit changes
to use the new DNS server.
Since we disabled running new-kernel-pkg in febootstrap, this
has meant that the normal appliance has not had a modules.dep
file. (Supermin was unaffected by this).
If selinux=1 on the Linux kernel command line, then we mount
/selinux in the appliance. We will also bind-mount this
directory into guests when we run commands.
This patch allows you to do:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure ...
make
This will output all generated files to the build directory. Given that
autogen automatically runs configure, you can also do:
BUILDDIR=./build ./autogen.sh
which will do the right thing.
Also:
* Fix a dependency bug which means that guestfs_protocol.h
isn't automatically rebuilt.
* Re-running autogen.sh with no arguments won't blow away your previous
configure arguments.
