| Summary | 0000556: Missing virtio-win | ||||
| Description | virtio-win is currently missing from both Alma Linux 9 and 10 because, as the wiki states, it "contain binaries built by upstream vendor". Missing this package is a major issue for users of Windows virtual machines, and the generic drivers available by fedora only "roughly correlate to what was shipped with the most recent Red Hat Enterprise Linux release". Can virtio-win be considered for re-inclusion? | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | "yum search virtio-win" founds nothing. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
