Deprecated in favor of using launchd. Removing qemu-nbd from the build because there is warning isn't a good strategy. You may not use qemu-io either but it is always built. That's important because otherwise it could bitrot, no one would notice, and one day qemu-tools wouldn't work on Mac OSX at all anymore. Instead we should fix the code that causes a warning. Is it cheating much to daemonize manually in qemu-nbd? ;) Stefan
