The oss repository is the default repository of any openSUSE product.
Ok, good.
And there is no special RedHat netcat package.
I never claimed there was. If anything, I'd call the netcat package in SuSE "special". I don't understand why we use this less functional relay over the openbsd one. Glad to see we have it now in openSUSE. But more important to me is SLE, where currently we are stuck with the inferior netcat and non-interoperable socat patch :-(.
Please apply the required changes to libvirt and virt-manager soon to get them into the next openSUSE release.
Yes, I will gladly do so. But still, what about SLE? Guess I'll enter a FATE for netcat-openbsd in SLE11 SP2 / SLE12. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

NB: openSUSE11.3 libvirt client will not work with <= openSUSE11.2, so user's managing 11.2 hosts with 11.3 client will be in for a surprise. Obvious and suggested workaround would be to update to latest libvirt and virt-manager packages for 11.2 from Virtualization project, and netcat-openbsd dependency from network:utils project.
Well, it also breaks users trying to manage SLE-11 from 11.3 admin host :-/ I've added SLE_11_SP1 build repo for network:utilities and enabled to build netcat-openbsd at all, so the workaround should be possible now (we'll see). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
