As in the past, we have an unofficial, unsupported, unsigned yum
repository containing a preview of the libguestfs and virt-v2v RHEL 7.6
packages:

  https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.6-preview/

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT RED HAT SUPPORT ABOUT THESE PACKAGES.  If you
find any problems, contact the upstream mailing list directly by
emailing <libguestfs at redhat.com>
