QEMU
https://www.qemu.org/documentation/
QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.
QEMU can be used in several different ways. The most common is for System Emulation, where it provides a virtual model of an entire machine (CPU, memory and emulated devices) to run a guest OS. In this mode the CPU may be fully emulated, or it may work with a hypervisor such as KVM or Xen to allow the guest to run directly on the host CPU.
Note that this package is produced using a Git based workflow. Please refer to README.PACKAGING before making modifications.

- Update to v5.2.0: See http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/5.2 Take note that ongoing feature deprecation is tracked at both http://wiki.qemu-project.org/Features/LegacyRemoval and in the deprecated.html file installed with the qemu package Some noteworthy changes: * Dropped system emulators: qemu-system-lm32, qemu-system-unicore32 * Dropped linux user emulator: qemu-ppc64abi32 * Added linux user emulator: qemu-extensaeb * Unicore32 and lm32 guest support dropped * New sub-packages (most due to ongoing modularization of QEMU): qemu-audio-spice, qemu-hw-chardev-spice, qemu-hw-display-virtio-vga, qemu-hw-display-virtio-gpu, qemu-hw-display-virtio-gpu-pci, qemu-ui-spice-core, qemu-ui-opengl, qemu-ivshmem-tools * x86: A new KVM feature which improves the handling of asynchronous page faults is available with -cpu ...,kvm-async-pf-int (requires Linux 5.8) * s390: More instructions emulated under TCG * PowerPC: nvdimm= machine option now functions correctly; misc improvements * ARM: new boards: mps2-an386 (Cortex-M4 based) and mps2-an500 (Cortex-M7 based), raspi3ap (the Pi 3 model A+), raspi0 (the Pi Zero) and raspi1ap (the Pi A+) * RISC-V: OpenSBI v0.8 included by default; Generic OpenSBI platform used when no -bios argument is supplied; Support for NUMA sockets on Virt and Spike Machines; Support for migrating machines; misc improvements * Misc NVMe improvements * The 'vhost-user-blk' export type has been added, allowing qemu-storage-daemon to act as a vhost-user-blk device backend * The SMBIOS OEM strings can now come from a file * 9pfs - misc performance related improvements * virtiofs - misc improvements * migration: The default migration bandwidth has been increased to 1Gbps (users are still encouraged to tune it to their own hardware); The new 'calc-dirty-rate' and 'query-dirty-rate' QMP commands can help determine the likelihood of precopy migration success; TLS+multifd now supported for higher bandwidth encrypted migration; misc minor features added * Misc minor block features added * Misc doc improvements * qemu-microvm subpackage change: the bios-microvm.bin is now SeaBIOS based, and the qboot based on is now qboot.rom * elf2dmp is no longer part of qemu-tools (it was never intended to be a packaged binary) * Some subpackages which were 'Requires' are now 'Recommends', allowing for a smaller qemu packaging footprint if needed * Patches dropped (included in release tarball, unless otherwise noted): docs-fix-trace-docs-build-with-sphinx-3..patch (fixed differently) hw-hyperv-vmbus-Fix-32bit-compilation.patch linux-user-properly-test-for-infinite-ti.patch Switch-order-of-libraries-for-mpath-supp.patch (fixed differently) Conditionalize-ui-bitmap-installation-be.patch (fixed differently) hw-usb-hcd-xhci-Fix-GCC-9-build-warning.patch (no longer using gcc9) hw-usb-dev-mtp-Fix-GCC-9-build-warning.patch (no longer using gcc9) roms-Makefile-enable-cross-compile-for-b.patch (fixed with different patch) libvhost-user-handle-endianness-as-manda.patch virtio-add-vhost-user-fs-ccw-device.patch Fix-s-directive-argument-is-null-error.patch build-Workaround-compilation-error-with-.patch build-Be-explicit-about-fcommon-compiler.patch intel-Avoid-spurious-compiler-warning-on.patch golan-Add-explicit-type-casts-for-nodnic.patch Do-not-apply-WORKAROUND_CFLAGS-for-host-.patch ensure-headers-included-are-compatible-w.patch Enable-cross-compile-prefix-for-C-compil.patch (fixed differently) hw-net-net_tx_pkt-fix-assertion-failure-.patch hw-net-xgmac-Fix-buffer-overflow-in-xgma.patch s390x-protvirt-allow-to-IPL-secure-guest.patch usb-fix-setup_len-init-CVE-2020-14364.patch * Patches added: meson-install-ivshmem-client-and-ivshmem.patch Revert-roms-efirom-tests-uefi-test-tools.patch Makefile-Don-t-check-pc-bios-as-pre-requ.patch roms-Makefile-add-cross-file-to-qboot-me.patch qboot-add-cross.ini-file-to-handle-aarch.patch usb-Help-compiler-out-to-avoid-a-warning.patch - In spec file, where reasonable, switch BuildRequires: XXX-devel to be pkgconfig(XXX') instead - No longer disable link time optimization for qemu for x86. It looks like either the build service, qemu code changes and/or the switch to meson have resolved issues previously seen there. We still see problems for other architectures however. - For the record, the following issues reported for SUSE SLE15-SP2 are either fixed in this current package, or are otherwise no longer an issue: bsc#1172384 bsc#1174386 bsc#1174641 bsc#1174863 bsc#1175370 bsc#1175441 bsc#1176494 CVE-2020-13361 CVE-2020-14364 CVE-2020-15863 CVE-2020-16092 CVE-2020-24352 and the following feature requests are satisfied by this package: jsc#SLE-13689 jsc#SEL-13780 jsc#SLE-13840 - To be more accurate, and to align with other qemu packaging practices, rename the qemu-s390 package to qemu-s390x. The old name (in the rpm namespace) is provided with a "Provides" directive, and an "Obsoletes" done against that name for prior qemu versions, as is standard practice (boo#1177764 jsc#SLE-17060) - Take this opportunity to remove some ancient Split-Provides mechanisms which can't conceivably be needed any more: qemu-block-curl provided: qemu:%_libdir/%name/block-curl.so qemu-guest-agent provided: qemu:%_bindir/qemu-ga qemu-tools provided: qemu:%_libexecdir/qemu-bridge-helper - Disable linux-user 'ls' test on 32 bit arm. It's failing with "Allocating guest commpage: Cannot allocate memory" error, which we should hunt down, but for now we don't want it to prevent the package from being built

qemu-kvm ist missing now for all arch!
And this wrong:
Pacakges we OBSOLETE (and CONFLICT)
Obsoletes: kvm <= %{version} Obsoletes: qemu-kvm <= %{version} Obsoletes: qemu-sgabios <= 8
Should be <, not <=
I'm sorry, maybe I still missing something about Obsoletes & Friends enough... Can you help me understand why qemu-kvm would be missing for all arches? In fact, I'm not only Obsoleting it, I'm also Providing it, isn't that fine?
FWIW, I've done a few tests with this repository enabled, and it seemed to work:
I.e., as you can see, no
qemu-kvmpackage is being installed:$ rpm -qa|grep qemu-kvm $
And:
Furthermore, if I have the actual
qemu-kvmpackage installed, with<=it is automatically removed, which is what I want... So things look good to me. What am I missing?First a short answer. An offered version (=) cannot be obsolete (<=) at the same time.
And why should qemu-kvm be removed? Doesn't the package require other packages to build or install?
Mmm... I guess I can try with "Obsoletes: qemu-kvm < %{version}-%{release}
But, yes, the actual qemu-kvm package must be removed, because now the qemu pacakge Obsoletes it, by providing everything that it was providing before (i.e., one symlink).
I don't understand what you mean with "Doesn't the package require other packages to build or install?"
Ok, I've now tested
Obsoletes: qemu-kvm < %{version}-%{release}, and no, it does not do what I want and need, whileObsoletes: qemu-kvm = %{version}does. And the SR has been accepted already, so I'm sticking to that
