Description David Gibson 2012-09-07 06:01:48 UTC

Description of problem:

The SLOF package exists to provide the guest firmware image for the qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries machine.  However the version of qemu in F18 expects a much newer SLOF (git tag qemu-slof-20120731) than the one currently packaged (qemu-slof-20120217).

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-09-07 08:19:01 UTC

Could the reporter request co-maint on the package,
then you can fix all of these bugs yourself.

Comment 2 David Gibson 2012-09-12 06:20:47 UTC

Well, I can't, since I'm not a Fedora dev.  My colleague Tony Breeds is, however and says he is willing to be the co-maint and ferry my fixes in.  What's the next step?

Here are some starting points:
