This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Rawhide bugs tend to linger, so moving to F17. Hmm. Rich, I know you've followed the upstream thread about this, and I saw you mention something about Fedora's curl being 'broken'. Can you elaborate on that? Will the upstream patch series fix things even with Fedora's curl ? (In reply to Cole Robinson from comment #3) > Hmm.

Will the upstream patch series fix things even with Fedora's curl ? Fedora's curl simply doesn't work. Upstream curl from git works fine. Try this test on Fedora 19 w/ qemu >= 1.4 and libguestfs 1.22. You will need a remote disk image of some sort available over HTTP. With Fedora curl: $ export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct $ guestfish -a http://192.168.0.249/scratch/winxp.img -i -v [it just hangs when running qemu using 100% CPU] With upstream curl compiled from git: $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/d/curl/lib/.libs $ export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct $ guestfish -a http://192.168.0.249/scratch/winxp.img -i -v [...] Welcome to guestfish, the guest filesystem shell for editing virtual machine filesystems and disk images. Type: 'help' for help on commands 'man' to read the manual 'quit' to quit the shell Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP /dev/sda1 mounted on / ><fs> I don't know why this is. We seem to patch curl heavily in Fedora. (In reply to Cole Robinson from comment #3) > Will the upstream patch series fix things even with Fedora's curl ? No. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 971790 *** |
