Description Marina Kalinin 2014-11-12 21:37:59 UTC
There are 2 problems with USB Filter Editor msi location on rhn:

1. There is no Downloads tab for 3.4, as it used to be and there is no way for customers to find it and download it.
3.3: https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=20703
Note the ISO's available under the Downloads tab.
3.4: https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/channels/details.pxt?cid=22210
Note - there is no Downloads tab.
I searched by package search and could not find anything as well.


2. Insufficient and misleading documentation about where to get USBFilterEditor.msi: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.4/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#sect-The_USB_Filter_Editor

It says - check Release Notes for additional info. Nothing there. I prefer to have a direct link to a location on customer portal where the customer would be able downloading this.

The description of this bug has nothing to do with this component. spice-usb=share-win was created to handle the 3rd party usb redirection.

It is used the USB filter info, but The editor and the usbfilter.txt is owned by RHEVM.

David,
In the past you recommended me to open a bug anyway, and you would redirect it to the correct component.
Current problem is where the customer is supposed to get this MSI?
It is no-where in RHN.
Compared to 3.3, where it was on RHEVM 3.3 downloading page. Now such thing does not exist.
Which implies some change in a process, probably coming from your team and not updating some errata/documentation requests.
Reopening and hopefully we can discuss this together with Spice + RHN + Docs teams and decide on the correct process.

Thank you,
Marina.
