Actually it wasn't removed exactly. The functionality was wrongly advertised due to a copy&paste mistake in libosinfo and nobody had tested/worked on this before.

Just pointing out that this is a new feature and looking into it a bit, I am not sure it would be easy to solve. I'll look into this in more detail today and if I make any progress, we do this in 7.1. Otherwise, this will have to wait till 7.2.

I looked into this and so far I haven't even figured what exactly is the reason win 7 and 8 script wont work for 8.1. So I think we need to postpone this to 7.2.

Since the release flag was set to ? after the qa_ack and pm_ack flags were set to + (was likely set for the previous release), the qa_ack and pm_ack flags have been reset to ? by the bugbot (pm-rhel). This action ensures the proper review by Product Management.

Express installation for Windows 8.1 works as expected with these 2 patches:
libosinfo: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2016-April/msg00000.html
gnome-boxes: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765175

Comment 2 Fabiano Fidêncio 2016-05-11 13:18:03 UTC
These patches are going to be part of the 0.3.1 release.
