Upgrading libguestfs to import debian VM
I find that running oVirt 4.1.1 I can not import any debian based VMs as virt-v2v/libguestfs is too old. This bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1362497 indicates that newer versions of libguestfs support importing debian and Ubuntu VMs. Are there any plans to include a newer version of libguestfs in oVirt soon? If I built a newer version of libguestfs on my ovirt-node would it break everything? Regards Simon

you did not specify what OS are your hosts so I assume it is RHEL/CentOS. The newer libguestfs is scheduled to appear in 7.4. AFAIK it should already be available for Fedora 25/26.

That should be OK. If you feel brave enough to do that, sure you can build your own RPMs. You should not need to update anything else (libvirt/qemu).
