Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : quickemu * URL : https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu * License : MIT Programming Lang: Bash, Python Description : Quickly create and run highly optimised desktop virtual machines for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Quickemu is a wrapper for the excellent QEMU that attempts to automatically "do the right thing", rather than expose exhaustive configuration options. Additional information: QuickEmu has been a nice alternative to VirtualBox for me for almost a year now. The quickget command can automagically download and prepare virtual machines, while the quickemu command runs virtual machines based on a simple config file that is typically created by quickget. There is also a GUI available named Quickgui, however last time I checked that was still pretty barebones. There is also a Debian packaging repository available at https://github.com/quickemu-project/packaging which doesn't seem to actually be used anywhere. Maintainance: As weird as it might sound coming from the person requesting the package, I would package it myself it there was a sponsor for it. Reason being that I have never packaged anything for the official Debian repositories and have a lot of higher priority stuff to do before learning *proper* Debian packaging.
