qemu (1:9.1.0+ds-1) unstable; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
Since this version, the statically-linked qemu-user binaries from
|
|
qemu-user-static package has been moved to qemu-user package,
|
|
effectively making it to be what qemu-user-static has been.
|
|
|
|
There's no dynamically-linked qemu-user binaries anymore, in no
|
|
qemu packages provided by Debian. For more information see
|
|
#1079603.
|
|
|
|
When you upgrade from previous version of qemu-user or qemu-user-static
|
|
packages, there should be no change in behavour. However, new qemu-user
|
|
does not provide binary names with "-static" suffix, for example, an
|
|
interpretator for aarch64 is named qemu-aarch64, not qemu-aarch64-static
|
|
(the same way it has always been in qemu-user, before this version when
|
|
it has become static, and it still is). In order to retain compatibility
|
|
with previous version, qemu-user-static package now ships just the
|
|
compatibility names (symlinks) with -static suffix.
|
|
|
|
Also, qemu-user-static now depends on qemu-user-binfmt package, which
|
|
just enables binfmt registation of qemu-user binary formats with
|
|
binfmt-misc kernel subsystem (the formats themselves are shipped by
|
|
qemu-user now, but are not enabled).
|
|
|
|
If you only need qemu in context of in-kernel binfmt-misc subsystem
|
|
(to run foreign binaries automatically), you need just qemu-user-binfmt
|
|
package (which also installs qemu-user). In this case, you can safely
|
|
remove this qemu-user-static package.
|
|
|
|
However, if you rely on the naming with -static suffix, you might want to
|
|
keep qemu-user-static package installed.
|
|
|
|
Long term, the intent is to drop this qemu-user-static package, which has
|
|
become just a compatibility wrapper around real work done now in qemu-user
|
|
and qemu-user-binfmt packages.
