Note: I won't use the ultimate splitting for Qemu (introduced by Qemu 7.0) until I get some help to migrate to the splitted PKGBUILD.

Note 2 : qemu-git packages are conflicting with qemu-desktop meta package. This package will need a lot of work and time to be corrected. Sorry.

1. Not really, since the official PKGBUILD removes seabios and splits it up as another package. You should at least put provides=('seabios') if you aren't going to split it out, so that people don't get file conflicts or package dependency issues. 2. Apple doesn't care, so long as you buy the DVD to install with. Otherwise, they'd be going after qemu, the guy who made the patches, etc. Note that Linux was originally a clone of Unix, which I'm sure was considered copyright/trademark/process infringement. Hacking is what Linux is all about, and running a virtual Mac is one of those grey areas where people tend to look the other way. 3. I'm not really complaining, it's just constructive criticism. You've done a great job thus far. As for virt-manager, it's just nice, because I don't have to write a 4 line long command in zsh to get my machine configured.

My answer will be simple and short : 1) I will *not* split package. I want to give user the true git version. And my work is based on official PKGBUILD. 2) Piracy is piracy. If you want to use OS-X, just buy a mac. 3) If you're not happy with this version, just grab it, modify it and fork it. Sincerely yours, PS : just show me that virt-manager is something really needed to get qemu to work. You cannot. http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/ "Initially Xen was the primary platform supported, however, since libvirt 0.2.0 and virt-manager 0.3.1 it is possible to manage QEMU and KVM guests too. It is expected that support for additional hypervisors / virtualization products will expand even further over time as additional libvirt drivers are written. "

...and you should note that the arch package separates seabios out by removing it from qemu as well. You should at least split it off as a subpackage within the build.

No need to get high and mighty about the seabios thing. Some would argue that "piracy" in this case is just a violation of TOS...which isn't actually piracy. Either way, you're not including some file(s) that are required, as virt-manager doesn't work with your package, either... Maybe compare it with the official one?

"seabios-osx-git provides the latest bios, probably more new than qemu's - it's also patched to support OSX guests." This is another reason I will not use it. OS-X is a non-free OS. And emulating it is piracy to be clear. And I saw that last version of seabios git is nearly one month old... As old as the one in qemu-git code. So don't ask anymore for including your package. I will not and never do it.

seabios-osx-git provides the latest bios, probably more new than qemu's - it's also patched to support OSX guests.

Thanks for both PKGVER code and missing provide. But I will not remove for now bios files for one single reason : git code is providing up-to-date version.

ilikenwf commented on 2013-04-24 05:45 (UTC)

Please do the following: remove the installation of /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin and instead rely on seabios or seabios-osx-git to provide it... add: provides=('qemu-spice') add: pkgver() { cd "${srcdir}/$_gitname" git describe --always | sed 's|-|.|g' } Thanks! Got my vote.
