Just wanted to note that upstream we have split up the
old, very large, libguestfs git "monorepo", splitting out:

guestfs-tools (https://github.com/rwmjones/guestfs-tools)

 - All the C and OCaml tools like virt-df, virt-customize, etc. except
   for guestfish, virt-v2v and virt-p2v.

virt-v2v (https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v)

 - Conversion from VMware to KVM.

virt-p2v (https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-p2v)

 - Conversion from physical machines to KVM.

libguestfs (https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs)

 - Now it's just the library and language bindings (including
   guestfish because that is -- kind of -- a set of shell script
   bindings)

FWIW here are the new Fedora packages in case you want to see how we
decided to arrange the subpackages and dependencies.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libguestfs/tree/rawhide
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/guestfs-tools/tree/rawhide
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/virt-v2v/tree/rawhide
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/virt-p2v/tree/rawhide

Another thing to say is that we're planning eventually to move all the
git repos to gitlab because it's a more free software friendly
solution compared to github.

Rich.
