Description Richard Weinberger 2012-02-16 11:23:58 UTC

Description of problem:

On FC16 qemu-system-ppc is missing.

How reproducible:

Try to use qemu-system-ppc. :-)

Why was is removed?

Comment 1 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2012-03-15 17:56:55 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2012-07-10 11:30:23 UTC

We no longer have a way to build openbios, which qemu-system-ppc requires. However qemu distributes bios binaries already, so hopefully we can get a packaging exception for those, and revive qemu ppc.

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2012-10-31 01:05:16 UTC

We have revived qemu-system-ppc on F18+ but we won't be backporting this change to F16 given the age of the distro. Closing as CURRENTRELEASE
