Description Tomáš Golembiovský 2020-03-09 14:09:01 UTC

qemu-guest-agent package now depends on libpixman which was not the case with RHEL7. That seems to be since qemu-ga binary links to libpixman.so although there are no symbols required by the qemu-ga from that library. Could the build scrips be fixed so as not to link needlessly to the library?

All this complicates the installation of qemu-ga package by virt-v2v because we need to carry the dependency along.

Subject: [PATCH] build-sys: do not make qemu-ga link with pixman

Hi John,

Sorry for the delay, crazy days.
I'm worried about this one. I'm not sure if we can make this into 8.2.0.
The patch is queue but didn't get any ack.

I don't know why overseer missed this. it seems that it never arrived.
