Package: qemu Version: 0.8.1-1 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hello, occasionally, I would like to chroot (or use vserver) to go into an installation for another architecture. Obviously, this brings the binfmt interpreter out of the namespace. It would be nice if there were a package, say, "qemu-from-powerpc" for each architecture that contained a statically linked powerpc qemu binary that emulated that particular architecture it was installed on; that interpreter would have to be in the place expected by the binfmt handler. This is probably, erm, interesting to add to the build system as you would essentially create a lot of packages for different architectures on each architecture. :-P Simon - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.2.6-2 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libasound2 1.0.11-7 ALSA library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.11-3 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii openhackware 0.4.1-2 OpenFirmware emulator for PowerPC ii proll 18-2 JavaStation PROM 2.x compatible re ii vgabios 0.5d-1 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qemu recommends: ii debootstrap 0.3.3 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii sharutils 1:4.2.1-15 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode - -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
