[opensuse-virtual] libvirt packaging have now requires for virtualbox ?
With the new packaging of the virtual stack, libvirt now push dependencies on xen, AND virtualbox. Look like we are getting more and more stuff auto-bad-gically installed. I don't need xen, nor I don't want to have virtualbox (which ask virtualbox-qt, which then ask other things on a server) Is it possible (I didn't dig into packaging spec) to make libvirt smarter. For example if someone want only kvm virtualization he didn't get xen, lxc, virtualbox. In link with yast, there was a time you could choose on virtual system (kvm,xen). So the yast module has to bee re-aligned with new possible choices. Perhaps I've lost track on something. So my assumptions good be wrong, but I would like to hear someone about the benefit over the inconvenient. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org

What you are seeing is simply a bug, already found by AJ https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848918#c5 I spent quite a bit of time cleaning up the upstream spec file (which is the basis for the SUSE spec file) https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-December/msg00355.html A new maintenance update has been submitted to fix the issue https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/210011 Regards, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org

Okay Thanks a lot Jim for your incommensurable effort to keep those thing in order for real use.
