Yup, this is a bug for sure. Will fix, probably not today though. Mark, some questions:
I have a feeling that if /usr/bin/qemu-kvm (the binary)
exists, as it does on %{ix86} and x86_64, I should probably
just do:
BuildRequires: /usr/bin/qemu-kvm
The alternative would be to depend on the qemu-kvm package.
Any thoughts on that? But ...
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm is provided by qemu-system-x86, and
qemu-kvm (the package) seems to be an empty virtual package
which requires qemu-system-x86. Is qemu-kvm meant as
a placeholder for "any arch that might have KVM in the
future", or is it an obsolete package?
On PPC I guess KVM is not supported (in Fedora, but apparently
it *is* by upstream - is this right?)
So just a suggestion:
if qemu-kvm is a placeholder for "any future arch that has
KVM", perhaps we should have a qemu-no-kvm package which
is a placeholder for the non-KVM-supported arches?
(In reply to comment #2) > So just a suggestion: > if qemu-kvm is a placeholder for "any future arch that has > KVM", perhaps we should have a qemu-no-kvm package which > is a placeholder for the non-KVM-supported arches? Actually on small reflection I don't think this makes any sense, since who would want to build only for non-KVM archs? So ignore that bit, but the rest of the question above still stands! Oh, I hadn't realized - qemu-kvm on ppc/ppc64 requires qemu-system-ppc Easiest just to require qemu-kvm and carry on :-) We don't ship KVM ppc support in Fedora yet, but AFAIK it's just a lack of someone motivated enough to make it happen Rebuilt for Rawhide: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1367948 libguestfs-1.0.27-1.fc11.2 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.27-1.fc11.2 libguestfs-1.0.27-1.fc11.2 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository.
