[Avocado-devel] how to create or get fedora17 qcow2 img?

[Zhangbo (Oscar)]

Hi all:
   I tried to run libvirt-backended avocado-vt on my server, but failed. (this server is older than my last one, which was succeed in running avocado-vt tests.)
   Because I'm using fedora 19 as the guesOS, but my libosinfo just support fedora17.

It's because osinfo-query on my server is 0.1.2, too old to support fedora19
: osinfo-query os --fields short-id

4
I could not update my libosinfo, because glib2 is too old here, it's of version 2.22, which has no symbol named " g_list_free_full ", that's needed by higher-version libosinfo.

-----------------------------




So, I tried to get qcow2 imgs of fedora17, but I still failed. The steps are as follows:
1 
Goto: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/x86_64/os/LiveOS/
To download the image of fedora17

2 convert it to qcow2
qemu-img convert -f raw ./squashfs.img -O qcow2 /usr/share/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-17-64.qcow2

3 backup it and zip it:
a. cp /usr/share/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-17-64.qcow2 /usr/share/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-17-64.qcow2.backup
b. 7za a /usr/share/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-17-64.qcow2.7z /usr/share/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/jeos-17-64.qcow2

4 run avocado-vt test, but failed..

I saw Jeos19 and Jeos21 available, but Jeos17 is not.

So, How can I get fedora17(Jeos17) qcow2 image to be recognized by avocado-vt?

Thanks in advance.
