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.
sounds good to me :) -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
