[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#805622: libvirt-bin: support for qemu binary

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 1.2.21-1+b1
Severity: normal

I am trying to migrate my setup from VirtualBox to libvirt/kvm.


Earlier, libvirt used to have an option for the user, on what emulator
they wanted to run as. Then, we could choose kvm or qemu.

In the virt-manager, I do not see that option any more. Is it left out
intentioanlly ?

My intent is to bring back my debian gnu/hurd vm into libvirt setup. But
hurd can have issues booting with kvm from time to time. So having
support for the qemu emulator really helps.

Also, in virt-manager, under "Architectures" I do not see the i386
architecture.


I looked into README/NEWS files but do not see anything about it, hence
this bug report.


Thanks,
Ritesh

PS: For the record, my kvm setup currently is not able to boot debian
hurd. The same is still bootable with qemu.
