[ITP] Qemu

[ITP] Qemu

[Helge Konetzka]

Hello,


I would like to package Qemu for Cygwin.
See https://www.qemu.org/


Qemu is included in Debian.
See https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/qemu

Qemu is released under the GNU General Public License, version 2. Parts 
of Qemu have specific licenses, see file LICENSE.
See https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/license.html


I've prepared cygports for the packages as a POC. See
https://gitlab.com/hejko-cygwin/cygports

Qemu binaries and resources were packaged in mingw64-x86_64-qemu and 
mingw64-i686-qemu. To make Qemu accessible in a transparent way, I've 
created qemu-integration. It mainly consists of a wrapper and a setup 
script.
See
https://gitlab.com/hejko-cygwin/qemu-integration

For download of POC packages see
https://www.zapateado.de/cygwin/


Any interest for Qemu packages in Cygwin?
If so, I would split Qemu into several packages and add all licenses 
included in Qemu source before final upload.


Regards.

I assume that it's not straightforward to build cygwin executables of 
QEMU, but mentioning some of this issues would help.

Given that: do we really need to build our own MinGW QEMU packages? Can 
the integration script just rely on the official Windows packages being 
installed?

I've never tried to build Qemu using the Cygwin toolchain. It's not 
documented and IMHO it's not supported.

qemu-integration can be configured to execute the official Qemu 
distribution easily. I've already provided a configuration example for 
this case.

If you think this would be useful, I could create an updated version of 
qemu-integration which also defaults to the standard installation path 
of the "official" Qemu Windows package.

Thanks. I think this would be the best approach.

Please also provide a SSH key as explained here:

Done.

I've added 'qemu-integration' to your authorized uploads.

Please see [1] for how to upload packages and push to the packaging git 
repository.

Thanks, and sorry for the delay in processing this.

I've uploaded the packages and pushed the cygport stuff.

Is there anybody who wants to have a look before I add the ready-file?

Regards

Kyle:

Can you take a look for me?

This seems relevant to our tool chains at work.

qemu-integration is available via Cygwin Setup since tuesday.

I've manually sent the "cygport announce"-based text to 
cygwin-announce@cygwin.com as proposed in 
https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html on wednesday.

I am still waiting for delivery to the list...

Is anything wrong with the mail? Is is lost perhaps? Just asking because 
I've seen a new ANNOUNCEMENT a few minutes ago.

BTW: cygport doesn't append the unsubscribe info to the mail text, so I 
forgot to include it.

Regards

Not sure what happened there.
Please re-send the announcement.
