Virt-v2v converts a single guest from a foreign hypervisor to run on

KVM. It can read Linux and Windows guests running on VMware, Xen,

Hyper-V and some other hypervisors, and convert them to KVM managed by

libvirt, OpenStack, oVirt, Red Hat Virtualisation (RHV) or several

other targets. It can modify the guest to make it bootable on KVM and

install virtio drivers so it will run quickly.

This is a mass rebuild of the OCaml ecosystem with OCaml 5.5.1, which fixes two security bugs. See for details. In addition, rocq has been updated to version 9.3.0, which also fixes several CVEs. New upstream development version 1.61.4 New upstream development version 2.13.7
