Package: libvirt0
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: important
The 0005-Terminate-nc-on-EOF.patch file patches libvertd to pass extra
debian specific args to netcat ("-q 0"). Since this option is Debian
specific, libvirt fails to connect to Fedora/RHEL/CentOS libvirtd servers.
I've rebuilt the package locally without this patch and now I can connect to
remote machines just fine.
I'm not sure what the solution is. Virt-manager handles either netcat flavor
by doing this in src/virtManager/consCole.py:
nc_cmd = [\
"nc -q 2>&1 | grep -q 'requires an argument';"
"if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then"
" CMD='nc -q 0 %(nc_params)s';"
"else"
" CMD='nc %(nc_params)s';"
"fi;"
"$CMD;" % {'nc_params': nc_params}
]
Though it looks more pleasant to do that type of thing in python than in
C. :-)
Or perhaps the patch could be removed and the netcat-openbsd package be
required by libvirt since I don't believe it needs the "-q" argument to work
correctly.
