[opensuse-virtual] qemu package split
by Andreas Färber 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi everyone, Ever since I've been involved with openSUSE, the qemu package has had an unusual setup of configuring and building twice: once for the regular binaries, then moving them to a temporary directory and finally configuring and building statically for the qemu-linux-user subpackage, used for arm chroot builds among others. In our quest to finally unify the kvm and qemu packages, I have updated the qemu package to 1.5.0 (SR#176307 pending for Factory) and have subsequently prepared to split the qemu.spec[.in] to build qemu-linux-user in a separate linked package similar to gcc or kernel: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/176308 AFAICS the RPM package name stays the same that way, so armv7/armv5el should hopefully be unaffected and the change transparent to end users. A nice side-effect is that we can limit the SLE_11_SP2 build breakage to qemu-linux-user package (BNC#820754: SLE_11_SP2 is missing a glibc maintenance update for static builds). Also the dependencies for qemu-linux-user get significantly less and no *-static deps for qemu. If I don't hear any objections, I'll accept the changed qemu package into Virtualization project later today and will setup qemu-linux-user package there. For Factory this is a heads-up that we will require to copy/setup the additional qemu-linux-user package once we've tidied up and submit the package split to Factory at some future point towards 13.1. Further 13.1 work still under discussion is to create further subpackages inside qemu so that the kvm package won't need to depend on mips etc. emulation binaries.

[opensuse-virtual] virsh shutdown/reboot suspends the guest
by Olaf Hering 14 May '13

14 May '13

I run kvm, libvirt, virt-* from Virtualization repo on a 11.4 system. A 12.3 guest does suspend instead of reboot or shutdown if I issue the respective virsh command. The same happens when doing shutdown/reboot from virt-manager. Any idea what is causing this? Bug in 12.3 or bug in the host tools?
