 Yes we know, and thanks for your work, we'll use that when preparing
 the new package. I'd like to have a buildable video.x driver, and make
 qemu build on kfreebsd-i386 before uploading.

Sorry if I sounded harsh, I didn't mean to - I know there are a number of
issues with packaging 0.7.2. I simply thought I'd share what I'd done
already ;-).

  I've also included kqemu.h and enabled kqemu support
  (45_kqemu.patch), but I haven't changed the debian/copyright file
  to include its license.
 
 I'll take a look on this as well, maybe we'll use the qvm86 header
 file instead.

I wondered about that - I was hoping both header files would be
interchangeable, so that a single qemu could be used with either kqemu or
qvm86, but it seems not. The kqemu version numbers announced are different,
and kqemu 0.7.2 has a few more items than the latest snapshot of qvm86...
Apart from that, the qvm86 header file seems more portable (it uses uint32_t
rather than unsigned long - or is that a problem when porting to x86_64?),
but kqemu's supports x86_64 already. Then again, given that kqemu is not
redistributable, all this may be rather moot...

But I imagine you knew all that!

Regards,

Stephen

Bug#321232: qemu: New upstream version available

Package: qemu
Version: 0.7.2-0.1

Followup-For: Bug #321232


Hi,

QEMU 0.7.2 has been available for a while. I've rebased most of the
Debian package's patches against the new version; I'm attaching the
resulting .diff.gz. The only missing patch is 50_ppc_ldscript.patch;
the upstream ppc.ld has changed and I can't check the patch. I've
also included kqemu.h and enabled kqemu support (45_kqemu.patch),
but I haven't changed the debian/copyright file to include its
license.

Regards,

Stephen
