qemu (1.7.0+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low Since version 1.7.0+dfsg-2, qemu-system-x86 switched from vgabios for plex/bochs project to implementation of vgabios provided by seabios. The latter is written almost entirely in C language so it is much easier to debugu/develop, but it lacks some 16bit protected mode functions which are present in vgabios. This means that it is possible that, for eaxample, some protected-mode games written for MS-DOS may not work since this release. This also means that vgabios package isn't used by qemu anymore, and might be removed from the system if there are no other users of it left. /usr/bin/kvm shell wrapper has been moved back to qemu-kvm package (it was moved to qemu-system-x86 in version 1.3.0+dfsg-2exp). Please note that we do not re-install qemu-kvm package if it has been removed as obsolete, so if you need /usr/bin/kvm wrapper please install qemu-kvm package again. This change allows qemu-system-x86 package to co-exist with the old qemu-kvm binary (not shell-wrapper) package from wheezy. -- Michael Tokarev Thu, 28 Nov 2013 18:40:56 +0400
