There is also one important patch missed in Mageia -
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-11/msg00787.html
it's
dependency for the GNS3 simulator. OpenSUSE already includes it
https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=qemu&project=openSUSE%3
ATools
If nobody is against I will do it and contact the maintainer (misc).
I prefer to wait on the stable release ( ie, no rc1 ).
We will wait on stable version of qemu.
OK
And no patch unless it comes from upstream ( and even, I am not keen on
backporting feature, better wait for stable release ).
GNS3 is already in stable! This package is broken - no dynamips (=no
router emulation at all...),
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.
Dynamips is already imported into Mageia - it needs a review from my
mentor. This software is abandoned by its creator(s), and now without a
maintainer. It is developed in free time by GNS3 developers.
And NO. There was new "community" release in this year.
This is officially a fork and de facto considered as the main branch
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gns-3/files/Dynamips/0.2.8-RC3-community/
no patched qemu (no virtualization support
at all...) According to the developers and their online documentation
for package maintainers http://forum.gns3.net/post11571.html UDP patched
Qemu is dependency/very important.
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).
GNS3 contain qemuwrapper to help emulate connections between multiple
PCs through virtual (emulated) router on one single (but not limited to
only one) machine. It uses UDP networking. You can chose your ready to
use image for qemu - in GNS3 menu - (for example with JunOS - there
are downloadable ready to use images with different OS) and immediately
have it working.
Honestly I haven't been testing it with qemu - I have probably to wait
for possible upstream patch or make it finally myself.
There are some official images
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gns-3/files/Qemu%20Appliances/
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.
For Pix there is as far as I know pemu. Pemu was for afaik for qemu
0.9.x series and it's to old to push to upstream.
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?
I based on Mageia already existing package and then to make it working I
based on others distros (especially openSUSE) and FreeBSD ports.
and
xdotool (this one suggested) - these I can maintain with my mentor, so I
ask for patch qemu in stable versus UDP support.
