Description Hans de Goede 2011-09-30 12:41:27 UTC

Hi,

As discussed on irc, it would be nice if anaconda were to automatically install the spice-vdagent package in virtual machines which are configured with the spice agent channel.

Anaconda can detect this by checking for the presence of a symlink named:
/dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0

Thanks,

Hans

Hi Hans,

can you please try with 'updates=http://akozumpl.fedorapeople.org/bz742522.img' ?

It is an updates image against the current f16 (so should work with beta ISOs etc.) If it works for you I'll propose it for the master branch.

If spice guys confirm this does what they expect it is ready to go.
