With the new qemu to fix the above I now get
DEBUG util.py:257: --> parted-3.1-7.fc18.armv7hl
DEBUG util.py:257: Error: Package:
2:qemu-system-x86-1.2.0-3.fc18.armv7hl (build)
DEBUG util.py:257: Requires: sgabios-bin
DEBUG util.py:257: Error: Package:
2:qemu-system-x86-1.2.0-3.fc18.armv7hl (build)
DEBUG util.py:257: Requires: seabios-bin >= 0.6.0-2
I don't remember that before but we don't have the s*bios bits. Not
sure if there's a way we can special case the qemu-system-x86 bits or
if you have some other idea.
Unfortunately seabios is pulled in from (at least) two places.
(1)
$ grep qemu-kvm libguestfs.spec
BuildRequires: qemu-kvm >= 2:1.1.0
Requires: qemu-kvm >= 2:1.1.0
These can be fixed. We just want to ensure that we have qemu >= 1.1.0.
It could be satisfied instead by qemu-system-arm >= 1.1.0 on arm.
(2) The following one is harder to solve, but I think reveals a
problem with the virt packaging on arm:
$ grep libvirt-daemon-qemu libguestfs.spec
BuildRequires: libvirt-daemon-qemu
Requires: libvirt-daemon-qemu >= 0.10.2-3
libvirt-daemon-qemu requires qemu which requires qemu-system-x86 which
pulls in seabios.
- - - -
Seabios could be compiled on arm. It is 16 bit 8086 code, so in
effect we cross-compile it even on x86. It's also useful (for a
limited sense of the word "useful") on arm, since in theory you could
run x86 guests on an arm host using qemu (very slowly).
I think to reduce the differences between x86 and arm, we should have
seabios on arm, if at all possible. But there is also a bug in the
libguestfs spec file outlined in (1) above.
