Description Alexander Todorov 2013-09-23 17:38:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

(18,50,32) gozen: ping AUTOPEER +AUTOPEER:4
(18,52,24) gozen: regarding the issue with f20 virt-install you had...
(18,52,56) gozen: yeah looks like virt-install is crapping out on nfs:// adresses. if you pass on nfs:$SERVER:PATH it seems to go thru. 
(18,53,11) gozen: but if you look at virt-install man page it says:
(18,53,12) gozen:          nfs:host:/path or nfs://host/pathrn             An NFS server location containing an installable distribution image
(18,53,21) gozen: so , this is a bug on virt-install. 
(18,53,40) gozen: please open a bug , and CC me too. or let me know i can open one .

The test case output is:

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2013-09-23 22:34:42 UTC 
FYI in f20+ virt-install etc. are part of the virt-manager package, reassigning
Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2013-09-24 01:29:05 UTC

Comment 4 Alexander Todorov 2013-09-24 15:00:05 UTC 
(In reply to Cole Robinson from comment #2)
> Fixed upstream now

Cole,
which NVR so I can check if they are in the daily snapshots I'm using? How about Fedora 19 (I think it is present there as well but haven't investigated in details). Should I just always 'yum update virt-manager' before testing ? Thanks.
Comment 5 Cole Robinson 2013-09-24 15:02:01 UTC 
I'm mid build in koji right now, you'll get an auto update here in a minute. I didn't think this bug was in f19 bug I didn't explicitly check, but it will be easy to backport if so
Comment 6 Cole Robinson 2013-09-24 15:09:44 UTC 
I confirmed this bug only affects F20+
