Hi, as shown https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1284793 we are hoping to get Qemu 2.0 into 14.04. This is tricky due to the timing - Qemu 2.0 release is scheduled for April 4 ( http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.0 ), with freeze for 14.04 being April 10. However, the drastic reduction in patches carried in the package, given the length of the LTS cycle, would be worthwhile.
In an attempt to shake out bugs as early as possible, I've started building packages based on current git HEAD at ppa:ubuntu-virt/candidate. This seems to be testing quite well for me on amd64. It would be great if people could start testing the version in this ppa where possible, as early as possible. If we do run into bugs, we can hopefully get them fixed upstream before release. If we can't get them fixed, then we'll know to stick with the 1.7 based qemu for 14.04. thanks, -serge PS: The version in this ppa also drops the omap3 patches cherrypicked from qemu-linaro. If anyone finds they needed those, please let me know so we can discuss how to proceed. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
