I guess we're talking about old virt-v2v here?
Shahar is writing a new OVA importer at the moment.
Well that's the thing. I saw many old e-mails about issues, and that the
ova option was withdrawn because of them. But I'm running F20 and it
claims to support the ova option so I presumed it had been reintroduced
and fixed. Not so much?
The version I am running is virt-v2v-0.9.0-5.fc20.x86_64
