Well, for me, I upgraded from Mandriva, and AFAIK there has been no new release of dynamips in the past year => grab the package from Mandriva for nwo, and log an enhancement bug (you can assign to me) for dynamips. > no patched qemu (no virtualization support > at all...)

Can you provide a bit more information on what GNS3 feature needs this patched qemu? I have in the past hooked up my kvm VMs to dynamips routers (before GNS3). Is this for Pix emulation, or just for launching generic virtual machines/emulated hardware as part of your lab? I really don't think the Pix emulation (I have never seen a maintained patch) is ready for anyone to include it ... but I haven't looked recently. > > We must fix the package and provide at least not so heavy broken ones... > > I've prepared new version of GNS3, included into svn dynamips Did you base it on the existing Mandriva package? > and > xdotool (this one suggested) - these I can maintain with my mentor, so I > ask for patch qemu in stable versus UDP support.
