Description David Gibson 2015-05-28 05:20:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

The current SLOF package is based on the qemu-slof-20140630 tag with a couple of patches backported and 4 or 5 downstream only changes (spec file, and build scripts).

However we've now rebase the RHEL 7.2 qemu-kvm-rhev onto qemu-2.3 which usually includes the SLOF tag qemu-slof-20150313.  We should update our SLOF package to match.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

SLOF-20140630-4.gitf284ab3.el7

Additional info:

The current downstream tree includes two backported patches which can be dropped once we rebase onto qemu-slof-20150313.  The remainder of the downstream changes are all downstream only - spec files and downstream build scripts.

Hi David,
We try to update the slof version to latest one with rpm package, SLOF-20150313-1.gitc89b0df.el7.noarch.rpm, but failed with by dependency relationship.

here is the failed log:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


By checking the dependency, we found the there is item "  dependency: SLOF = 20140630" so ,this may be the reason of failed update.

Comment 3 David Gibson 2015-06-05 04:28:14 UTC 
Zhengtong,

Sorry, I forgot to mention this.  An updated qemu which matches the new SLOF is on the way.  In the meantime you can install it manually by downloading the rpm and installing with 'rpm -Uvh --nodeps' - that should work for testing purposes.
