Very slow would be better than nothing due to crash IMO. From time to time, on #hurd someone without hwaccel joins interested in trying Hurd images/CDs; with current wheezy, user can not do that (unless using wheezy-backports). >> How about identifying changes to backport fixing this bug and >> proposing both to release team? >> [0] https://bugs.debian.org/719633 > > Here's the fix, which is rather simple (and is included into upstream > 1.7.1 stable release): > > http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=33dfdb56f2f3c8686d218395b871ec12fd5bf30b I know, that let me backporting it and confirming that it fixes #719633 on wheezy as well. I meant changes to fix this one, #741873. At least finding out what released version fixed it should be easier than bisecting once version is found. Once someone points to them, another option (workaround) pops up: Holger might then evaluate to simply rebuild 1.1.2 + #741873 patch and install it on jenkins.d.n. > 08:04 < h01ger> but i'm not interested in running anything else than > wheezy+wheezy-backports there atn Hurd multiboot does work with current qemu on wheezy-backports (1.7.0+dfsg-2~bpo70+2).

Not > that right now I have time for that :( I'm sure, as you already reminded, you would have to explain importance of each one. At the moment, I could propose #719633 debdiff if you agree about backporting it. -- G..e -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
