[Libguestfs] libguestfs preview for RHEL 7.4

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Just a friendly reminder that RHEL 7.4 preview packages of libguestfs
and virt-v2v are available.  You should be able to use them on top of
either RHEL 7.3 or CentOS 7.3.

> (2) These packages should work on top of RHEL 7.3 or CentOS 7.3.
> 
> (3) To install the packages you should create a yum repo file like the
> one below, and then use yum commands as normal:
> 
> $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview.repo 
> [libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview]
> name=libguestfs RHEL 7.4 preview
> baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview/
> enabled=1
> gpgcheck=0
> 
> Notable changes in packaging:
> 
>  - The 'virt-v2v' package now only includes virt-v2v, not virt-p2v.
> 
>  - To build your own virt-p2v bootable USB key, install 'virt-p2v-maker'.
> 
>  - virt-v2v installs Windows virtio drivers using a new technique
>    which tries to make the minimal possible changes to the Windows
>    registry.  This may create exciting new bugs, so I'm particularly
>    interested in further testing in this area.
