Hi guys.
I've built a qemu image in here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1102151
It contains the basic work to get qemu package updated. Basically,
we're talking about getting the qemu code from svn and creating multiple
packages, so one could grab just the architecture of interest.
Todo, is the creation of a meta-package to grab'em all at once.
This is also the first step in merging qemu and kvm packages, which
I'd like to do in two steps.
1) This one.
2) replace qemu-svn with kvm-userspace
The later is not as trivial as it seems. Nobody exercices this path
usually, and we're likely to find bugs that prevent the build to finish
(Well, I tested, and there _are_ bugs ;-) ). But I believe we can have
it sorted out.
If no one has any major opposition to the state of things, I intend to
commit it to CVS tomorrow (with some minor changes), and put it into
rawhide so we can start having a more serious testing out of it.
Has anyone discussed with the upstream QEMU developers about doing a
new release. I've seen no such discussions on the public qemu-devel
list. If QEMU guys are planning a new release soon, then we'd have
no need for a CVS snapshot, or at least confidence that QEMU guys
consider it geting stable enough that a release is viable. If the
QEMU devs don't consider a new release viable I'd like to know why
they think this, *before* we subject Fedora users to a CVS snapshot.
