Description Luiz Capitulino 2012-02-06 15:46:44 UTC 
We want to have qemu-ga support for Windows in 6.3. Michael Roth from IBM is working on it and has posted patches to qemu-devel:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-02/msg00235.html

Let's backport it.

Hi, there
As windows guest agent will not be included in rhel6.3, so any suggestions to handle this bug? Propose to 6.4 or something else? 

Thanks!

As windows guest agent is not included in 6.3, so I would like to move this to 6.4. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Qunfang
Comment 15 Qunfang Zhang 2012-04-16 07:05:45 UTC 
Change back to Assigned status as there's no windows guest agent executable
generated though the code exists. Changing back to assigned status does not
mean this bug is failed during verification. Doing this to make sure we could
track this bug better in next release. And we will ask errata owner to help
remove the bug from qemu-kvm errata.

Please test bug 767395 when the backport is done. We believe the problem reported there might be fixed with the introduction of the guest agent.
