qemu (1:8.0+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
Qemu upstream dropped support of the C-language virtiofsd daemon
|
|
implementation in version 8.0, so this package does not ship
|
|
virtiofsd anymore. A rust-language implementation is available
|
|
in a separate virtiofsd package.

qemu (1:7.0+dfsg-7) unstable; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
Starting with this version of qemu-system-x86 on x86 architecture, xen
|
|
support is moved out to a separate package named qemu-system-xen. Xen
|
|
release since 4.16.1-1 already uses qemu binary from this package. In
|
|
order to support transition from old xen and xen-supporting qemu-system-x86
|
|
to separate xen build of qemu, the qemu-system-i386 binary is temporarily
|
|
replaced by a shell wrapper which detects xen usage and if found, redirects
|
|
the call to xen-enabled qemu binary if found (with a warning), or suggests
|
|
to install qemu-system-xen package. If you used qemu-system-x86 (or
|
|
qemu-system-x86-xen on Ubuntu) to run xen, please install qemu-system-xen.
|
|
qemu-system-x86 is not used by xen anymore since 4.16.1-1.

qemu (1:5.0-9) unstable; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
With this version, kvm wrapper (initially from the separate kvm
|
|
package, which were later renamed to qemu-kvm) is merged back
|
|
to qemu-system-x86 package, replacing old qemu-kvm package.
|
|
'kvm' command name turned out to be very handy for manual
|
|
execution of qemu with kvm enabled, and we now rely on the
|
|
upstream behavor - when executable name ends with "kvm" it
|
|
enables the kvm mode by default if available, and falls back
|
|
to TCG if not.

qemu (1:2.12+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
Since qemu 2.12, [G]UI display frontends can be built as modules.
|
|
Debian creates new package, qemu-system-gui, which currently
|
|
includes GTK3 support. This also switches display from SDL to GTK.
|
|
Qemu-system-* packages recommends installing qemu-system-gui, so
|
|
by default on upgrade you will have new package installed, and
|
|
local GUI will continue to work. However, if you choose to not
|
|
install recommended packages, you might consider installing
|
|
qemu-system-gui package separately, if you need local GUI support
|
|
as well. Without this package, qemu-system-* becomes "headless",
|
|
and can be used on servers to reduce amount of dependencies -
|
|
this way, no X11 stuff is needed by qemu-system anymore.

qemu (1:2.2+dfsg-6exp) unstable; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
Since Debian release 2.2+dfsg-6exp, a new package named qemu-block-extra
|
|
has been created and some less frequently used block backends has been
|
|
split out of main qemu-system binaries and from qemu-img binary to
|
|
this new package. The backends which has been split are:
|
|
curl
|
|
iscsi
|
|
rbd (ceph/rados)
|
|
ssh
|
|
If you use any of these, please install qemu-block-extra package in
|
|
addition to qemu-system-* or qemu-utils package, because without it
|
|
these block backends won't work anymore.

qemu (2.0.0+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
|
|
|
qemu-system-* packages does not provide /usr/bin/qemu alternative
|
|
anymore, and all various alternatives will be unregistered at new
|
|
individual qemu-system packages install. This is because different
|
|
architectures are not really alternatives, and never has been.
|
|
Historically, qemu emulated just one architecture, so the name "qemu"
|
|
was used for the binary. However when more architectures were added,
|
|
the old name "qemu" was used as an alternative, pointing to one of
|
|
the emulators. Upstream does not use the name "qemu" for binaries
|
|
for a long time. If you have scripts using the old name "qemu"
|
|
please update them to use the right qemu-system-* binary.

qemu (1.7.0+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low
|
|
|
|
Since version 1.7.0+dfsg-2, qemu-system-x86 switched from vgabios for
|
|
plex/bochs project to implementation of vgabios provided by seabios.
|
|
The latter is written almost entirely in C language so it is much easier
|
|
to debugu/develop, but it lacks some 16bit protected mode functions which
|
|
are present in vgabios. This means that it is possible that, for eaxample,
|
|
some protected-mode games written for MS-DOS may not work since this
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
This also means that vgabios package isn't used by qemu anymore, and might
|
|
be removed from the system if there are no other users of it left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/kvm shell wrapper has been moved back to qemu-kvm package (it was
|
|
moved to qemu-system-x86 in version 1.3.0+dfsg-2exp). Please note that we
|
|
do not re-install qemu-kvm package if it has been removed as obsolete, so
|
|
if you need /usr/bin/kvm wrapper please install qemu-kvm package again.
|
|
This change allows qemu-system-x86 package to co-exist with the old qemu-kvm
|
|
binary (not shell-wrapper) package from wheezy.
