</span>I thought you said that the patches were developed by Fedora devs.<br>
Aren't they then included in the Fedora packages? I ask because it is<br>
common for the Fedora kernel to have patches included that have not<br>
gone upstream yet. In some cases, they will never go upstream. I am<br>
assuming that would be the case here as well.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There are not fedora devs, there are redhat devs working on qemu. </div><div>Those patches will definitly go upstream but when? That is a good question.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div id=":1si" class="a3s" style="overflow:hidden"><span class="">

</span>What I know is what I wrote in the paragraph above. It's speculation.<br>
And it might not even be called a master package. It's a package that<br>
installs other packages, but isn't installed itself. A meta package.<br>
<br>
It doesn't sound like qemu is one of those. What happens if you try to<br>
install the qemu package from virt-preview? You can always say no at<br>
the prompt.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div> No package available.</div><div>You want something really weird ?<br>If i don't use the package name and just type dnf install qemu i can install this specific package coming from this specific repo.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div id=":1si" class="a3s" style="overflow:hidden">You can do a<br>
dnf remove libvirt-client<br>
to see the dependencies for libvirt. Here, there are none.<br>
<br>
It would be really hard to get your system to an unusable state by<br>
touching only libvirt and qemu packages. You can always just put it<br>
back the way it was, because the system will still be functioning.</div></blockquote></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>Well, installing qemu actually install a lot more dependencies and upgrade those already there.</div><div class="gmail_extra">Problem will be to get the source now as it seems yumdownloader --source qemu failed to get source for 2.5.0-8</div><div class="gmail_extra">Is it possible to decompile the package somehow?</div><br><br></div></div>
