esx5.0-rhel6.3-i386.vmdk       esx5.0-rhel6.3-i386.vmxf

2. Run: virt-convert -i vmx -o virt-image /tmp/vmware/ /root/asdfzxcv/tyuiopjkl/

Comment 1 Martin Kletzander 2013-03-06 15:47:57 UTC

Fixed upstream in following commit, but we have to wait for the merge (added into "Depends on") to be done.

Comment 2 Martin Kletzander 2013-03-07 09:52:18 UTC

Don't mind the "merge" part of previous comment, changing to upstream and closing as NEXTRELEASE.
