After the virtio-win 0.1.196 update, note these two changes:

  • ISO image is copied at /var/lib/libvirt/images

  • The Windows XP floppies are not distributed anymore as upstream remove the support

Looks like 0.1.109-2 is out. - Update to qemu-ga-win-7.2.1-1 Thanks!

Bump up virtio-win 0.1.109.1-7. One change: - Change qemu as optional dependency, instead of a required dependency. @argymeg: thank you for suggestion.

I don't think qemu should be listed as a dependency, the drivers work fine with VirtualBox guests.

Bump from revision 1 to 6. These are the changes: * Change license to GPL2. * Add virtio-win changelog. To see virtio changelog use: pacman -Qc virtio-win * Add post install message to show where are image installed. * Change architecture to any. * Reduce build time by no extracting images files.
