Package: qemu-system-x86 Version: 1.5.0+dfsg-4 Severity: minor File: /usr/bin/kvm Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, Currently when using kvm binary (/usr/bin/kvm), a message is displayed announcing its deprecation and advising to use qemu-system-x86_64 instead. However, as can be seen by reading /usr/bin/kvm script, kvm is equivalent to qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm:tcg. The message should thus clearly state so. Attached is a patch with a more accurate suggestion. Best regards. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages qemu-system-x86 depends on: ii ipxe-qemu 1.0.0+git-20120202.f6840ba-3 ii libaio1 0.3.109-4 ii libasound2 1.0.27.2-1 ii libbluetooth3 4.99-3 ii libbrlapi0.6 4.5-3 ii libc6 2.17-7 ii libcairo2 1.12.14-5 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.31.0-2 ii libfdt1 1.3.0-4 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.28.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.3-3 ii libgnutls26 2.12.23-5 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.20-1 ii libiscsi1 1.4.0-3 ii libjpeg8 8d-1 ii libncurses5 5.9+20130608-1 ii libpixman-1-0 0.26.0-4 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-4 ii libpulse0 4.0-3 ii libsasl2-2 2.1.25.dfsg1-13 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-5 ii libseccomp1 1.0.1-2 ii libspice-server1 0.12.3-0nocelt1 ii libssh2-1 1.4.3-1 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20130608-1 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.15-1 ii libusbredirparser1 0.6-2 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.5 ii libvdeplug2 2.3.2-4 ii libvte9 1:0.28.2-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.0-1 ii libxen-4.2 4.2.2-1 ii libxenstore3.0 4.2.2-1 ii qemu-keymaps 1.5.0+dfsg-4 ii qemu-system-common 1.5.0+dfsg-4 ii seabios 1.7.3-1 ii vgabios 0.7a-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Versions of packages qemu-system-x86 recommends: ii qemu-utils 1.5.0+dfsg-4 Versions of packages qemu-system-x86 suggests: ii kmod 9-3 pn samba <none> pn sgabios <none> ii vde2 2.3.2-4 -- no debconf information
