Package: simple-cdd
Version: 0.6.6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
At the very end of the detailed example (simple-cdd.conf.detailed.gz)
the following appears:
# memory available within qemu, in MB
#mem=96
# additional options that get passed to qemu
#qemu_opts="-std-vga"
But these options have no effect at all.
Looking at the run_qemu() function in build-simple-cdd it appears that
this is not implemented. qemu_opts is a blank list, while 'mem' there's
a comment that looks like it comes from a previous shell script base
version, but never got implemented.
While it remains not implemented, the sample file should state so.
Though I'm not sure why it's not implemented, from a quick grasp of the
code, it looks like the commented section should read:
if self.env.get('mem'):
qemu_opts.append('-m')
qemu_opts.append(self.env['mem'])
I'm filing 'Severity: normal' but beware that the qemu defaults (atleast on my
system) imply so little memory that when the image launches the first
you get is a d-i warning about not enough memory. So it might be major.
Best,
marc
