*	Allow $TMPDIR to override most temporary directory uses.	Richard W.M. Jones	2010-09-24	1	-2/+2
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Be more consistent in allowing the user to override use of the temporary directory by specifying $TMPDIR. Also prefer P_tmpdir macro (defined in <stdio.h>) if that is defined, rather than hard-coding "/tmp" for the fallback location.
*	Fix error launching libguestfs when euid != uid.	Richard W.M. Jones	2010-09-20	1	-25/+108
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	When writing to a RHEV target, virt-v2v launches the libguestfs appliance with euid:egid = 36:36, which is required to write to an NFS target using root_squash. Since we changed to using a cached appliance, this causes an error on start up, as the cached files are owned by root, but the cache directory is owned by 36:36. The reason is that bash resets euid to uid and egid to gid so when febootstrap-supermin-helper is executed, it runs as root:root. The cache directory was created by libguestfs directly so it has the correct ownership. This patch fixes the issue by using explicit fork/exec instead of system (ie. not going via a shell) and by setting the real UID and GID to the effective UID and GID before execing.
*	Change to using ext2-based, cached supermin appliance.	Richard Jones	2010-08-23	1	-0/+465
	This changes the method used to build the supermin appliance to use the new ext2-based appliance supported by latest febootstrap. The appliance can also be cached, so we avoid rebuilding it each time it is used. Mailing list discussion goes into the rationale and details: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-August/msg00028.html Requires febootstrap >= 2.8.
