Hi,
I would like to include the virtme package in openSUSE/SLE. It's a very good tool to virtualize the host system , make it easy to test a new kernel without crashing the host kernel.
Great news, I use it a lot! I'm just too noob with packaging, so I just compiled it myself so far.
It's basically a wrapper around qemu, making it easier to spawn new VMs in seconds providing a simple arguments.The spec file currently Requires qemu and busybox, and a user that installed virtme can get a prompt to a newly created VM by issuing:
virtme-run --installed-kernel --memory 2G
I mostly use --kdir /path/to/linux.git with a checkout where I've built vmlinux using make. No need to install the kernel. Thanks, Vlastimil
And that's it. The project is being actively maintained, and I sent some patches to make it usable in current SLE/openSUSE.
The project is already in Virtualization devel project[1]. Let me know how I can improve the .spec file regarding openSUSE guidelines.
Thanks, Marcos
