Upstream does not have an interest in fixing this, stated that it was never intended to work, and acknowledges some documentation problems. As such, I am going to mark the maverick and natty tasks as "Won't Fix". I will publish my change for Lucid since the security update broke the previously unintentionally working behavior, but this will not be forward ported to Maverick or later. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Maverick) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Maverick) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Natty) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) => (unassigned) -- libvirt no longer supports format=host_device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
