Bug#756829: qemu-i386 is not the exact name of the command anymore

2014-08-02 Thread 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson
Package: qemu-system-common
Version: 2.1+dfsg-2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/doc/qemu-system-common/qemu-doc.html

In many places in the docs we see e.g.,

   5.2.1 Quick Start

   In order to launch a Linux process, QEMU needs the process executable itself 
and all the target (x86) dynamic libraries used by it.

 * On x86, you can just try to launch any process by using the native 
libraries:

   qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls


However it seems qemu-i386 is not the exact name of the command anymore.

This is not correct.  qemu-i386 is the right name of the command.
It is part of qemu-user package (for a userspace-level emulation).
You're filing the bugreport against qemu-SYSTEM, which is part of
whole system hardware emulation.

The documentation in there is generic, it covers all aspects of
qemu.  It is included in both -system and -user packages.

If you have better idea of how to provide documentation (without
rewriting it from upstream), please share it.

Overwise, I'm closing this bugreport.

Thanks,

/mjt

Maybe some notes should be added about that near those examples. Else we
beginners trying the examples will think something was outdated or something.
