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').
User-Mode Linux was an alternative hypervisor that could run the
appliance, instead of using qemu. It had many limitations including
lack of network, and UML support in Linux has been semi-broken for a
long time. It was also slower than KVM on baremeal in general and had
various corner cases which were much slower including the emulated
serial port which made bulk uploads and downloads painful. Also of
course it lacked qemu-specific features like qcow2 or any
network-backed disk, so many disk images could not be opened this way.
This was never supported in RHEL.

Some compilers do not manage to figure out that the members of it are
set only when search_appliance() in the end returns 1, which is already
checked. Help them a bit by resetting the appliance_files struct on our
own, so they will not report that 'appliance.kernel', and the others are
used as uninitialized.
This patch changes appliance search using paths with multiple directories. Now
all appliance checks will be done separately for each directory. For example
if the path LIBGUESTFS_PATH=/a:/b:/c, then all applainces are searched first in
/a, then in /b and then in /c. It allows to flexibly configure the libguestfs
to interact with different appliances.

At least two control files (packages and base.tar.gz) are necessary for the
