Description Luiz Capitulino 2012-02-06 15:46:44 UTC

We want to have qemu-ga support for Windows in 6.3. Michael Roth from IBM is working on it and has posted patches to qemu-devel:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-02/msg00235.html

Let's backport it.

Comment 13 Qunfang Zhang 2012-03-30 10:54:03 UTC

Hi, there
As windows guest agent will not be included in rhel6.3, so any suggestions to handle this bug? Propose to 6.4 or something else? 

Thanks!
Qunfang

Comment 14 Qunfang Zhang 2012-04-16 06:43:41 UTC

As windows guest agent is not included in 6.3, so I would like to move this to 6.4. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Qunfang

Change back to Assigned status as there's no windows guest agent executable
generated though the code exists. Changing back to assigned status does not
mean this bug is failed during verification. Doing this to make sure we could
track this bug better in next release. And we will ask errata owner to help
remove the bug from qemu-kvm errata.

Comment 19 Ademar Reis 2012-07-25 14:15:58 UTC

Please test bug 767395 when the backport is done. We believe the problem reported there might be fixed with the introduction of the guest agent.
