This is just the 'kernel', 'initrd' and 'root' files, copied from one
machine to another, along with a 'README.fixed' file which is also
used for identification.
This allows the appliance to be copied from one machine to another,
making it easier for us to distribute a starter appliance for people
who cannot get febootstrap or appliance-building working.

This function does 'rm -rf <dir>' for temporary directories, safely
working if '<dir>' contains shell meta-characters.
Replace existing code for removing directories with this.

This function was used to print the qemu and
febootstrap-supermin-helper command lines.
Unfortunately in the qemu case it was used incorrectly: it called the
internal debug function (ie. event API callback) from the forked qemu
subprocess, which meant that higher level event callbacks might have
been invoked from the child process.
To fix this, convert the qemu case into a new function called
print_qemu_command line which just prints the command line directly to
stderr. This is called after stderr has been redirected into the pipe
to the main process. Thus the qemu command line will be marshalled
into the event API along with other qemu and appliance output.
After fixing this, only one use of guestfs___print_timestamped_argv
remained, for printing the febootstrap-supermin-helper command line.
This is converted to a local function print_febootstrap_command_line.
Also print_febootstrap_command_line is now called before we fork
febootstrap-supermin-helper, so that messages no longer overlap.

This API allows more than one callback to be registered for each
event, makes it possible to call the API from other languages, and
allows [nearly all] log, debug and trace messages to be rerouted from
stderr.
An older version of this API was discussed on the mailing list here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-December/msg00081.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2011-January/msg00012.html
This also updates guestfish to use the new API for its progress bars.

The FHS advises large files not to be stored in the root
filesystem[1], and that /var/tmp is persistent across reboots[2]
(whereas /tmp is possibly not[3]).
Therefore we should store the large cached supermin appliance in
/var/tmp instead of /tmp. /tmp is still used for all other temporary
files and directories.
In either case you can override this by setting $TMPDIR.

This could be used to touch an arbitrary file (albeit one which
must already exist), and this could have been a security problem.

This change resolves several issues with current appliance
building:
(1) Old appliances are cleaned up.
(2) Race conditions between appliance building is handled better.
(3) Several bugs fixed.

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.

This file is not used for building the supermin appliance.

If supermin is disabled at compile time and the user just wants to
use the ordinary appliance, there is no need to compile in all
the supermin code, and in particular there is no need to check
for the supermin appliance (which involves running
febootstrap-supermin-helper that probably doesn't exist).
This fixes a warning message observed under Debian w/o supermin:
sh: febootstrap-supermin-helper: command not found

Cached appliances are discovered by their predictable path. Previously we were
creating a cached appliance directly in this predictable path. This had at least
2 undesirable effects:
* Interrupting appliance creation would leave a corrupt appliance
* 2 processes could simultaneously attempt to create the same appliance, causing
corruption.
This patch causes the cached appliance to be created in a temporary directory,
and then renamed to the predictable path. As rename is an atomic operation, this
makes the whole creation atomic.
This patch also changes the predictable path to have a prefix of 'guestfs.'.
This will make it simpler for system administrators to clean up old cached
appliances.
This patch resolves RHBZ#639405

Use febootstrap-supermin-helper's new -u and -g command line options to setuid,
rather than doing it in libguestfs.
This resolves an issue with the generation of the cached appliance checksum. The
checksum was being generated by a call to febootstrap-supermin-helper through
popen(). Unfortunately, a bash misfeature meant that euid would be reset to uid,
and the checksum was generated for uid, not euid. When virt-v2v is writing to a
RHEV target, uid == 0 and euid == 36, which resulted in a cached appliance being
created for root with permissions for uid 36.
Note this requires febootstrap 2.10.

A side-effect of change 17e7cb9937a63ed8f9bb0fb6ac7302758be76846 was the the
febootstrap-supermin-helper was no longer logged. This change adds it back using
the new guestfs___print_timestamped_argv internal function.

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.

Since the ext2-based appliance is cached, and since it is not
all loaded into memory (as with the initrd), we might as well
put all the kernel modules in there.
Note the kmod.whitelist.in file is still used for building the
ordinary appliance.

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.

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.

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.
