I just attempted to build an RPM for Fedora 10 using the tarball linked
above. It failed at two separate points. First, it could not build the
manpages, because no Makefile existed in man/en. Once I copied the
Makefile from the repository, it also failed missing the
python-virtinst.spec file.

I subsequently abandoned my attempts to build from the tarball and did a
mercurial clone of the entire repo and built from that, which worked
successfully.

I couldn't find a link on the virt-manager webpage to the appropriate
bug tracker, either (hence why this is going to the list).

Also new is ability to scale display only when fullscreen. Very good option
and I am happy, that it's default. :)

Why you do not recompile fc11 rpm? It's here:
    http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=93615

Enogh to download it and run:
  rpm --rebuild virt-manager-0.7.0-1.fc11.src.rpm

Or if you want, fc10 packages are on my buildsys until I build something
else:
    http://builder.salstar.sk/fedora-10-i386/result/

Cole: can you at least start an build for fc10 in koji? May be it will be
usefull for other people.

Just so we're clear, I was able to build and install it successfully
once I checked out the code from mercurial. My issue here is that a
tarball is being provided that does not build. (It also fails to run
'python setup.py build' successfully because of the Makefile issue).

Ah, yes building an rpm from the extracted tarball has some issues, I'll
fix these upstream. For future reference, you can just do:

rpmbuild -ta virtinst-0.400.3.tar.gz

And it will build an rpm. To install without an rpm, 'cd' into the
checkout and run:

python setup.py build && python setup.py install

Thanks,
Cole

That's part of what I was trying to tell you: setup.py build does not
work in that tarball. It's missing a makefile in man/en

Yes the Makefile is missing, but it shouldn't affect 'python setup.py
build', and indeed works fine for me with the release tarball.

Can you post the output of a failing build command?

Thanks,
Cole
