Actually it wasn't removed exactly. The functionality was wrongly advertised due to a copy&paste mistake in libosinfo and nobody had tested/worked on this before.

Just pointing out that this is a new feature and looking into it a bit, I am not sure it would be easy to solve. I'll look into this in more detail today and if I make any progress, we do this in 7.1. Otherwise, this will have to wait till 7.2.

Comment 2 Zeeshan Ali 2014-10-21 13:11:26 UTC

I looked into this and so far I haven't even figured what exactly is the reason win 7 and 8 script wont work for 8.1. So I think we need to postpone this to 7.2.

From IRC:

<zeenix> win8 patches already merged
<zeenix> win10 hopefully today
<zeenix> then i can cherry-pick them

Comment 7 Zeeshan Ali 2016-05-12 11:55:37 UTC

So patches are merged now to both libosinfo and gnome-boxes. I've looked at backporting it for 7.3 briefly but because of a massive data files layout changes, not only it will be rather difficult to backport these changes, I'm sure I'll break something and it'll be harder to maintain downstream.

So I suggest to either just rebase libosinfo (a lot of existing patches can then be dropped as well) or postpone this to 7.4.

Rebase it is then; please go ahead and build it.
