Description Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2015-08-05 02:56:57 UTC
some programs (like cinder) use qemu just for image conversion
other people may do image conversion without running a VM as well (I do it while building openstack images).

It'd be nice to have a smaller build for just the useful utilities that qemu provides instead of having everything and the kitchen sink.

Reproducible: Always

because you asked for a bug... :P
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-08-05 03:40:25 UTC
well, i asked for a bug, but i also asked for exact details.  i.e. what *exactly* do you want to see installed.

for me it's just `qemu-img`

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
