qemu discuss - Jan 2009 - Shipping QEmu as part of Solaris Nevada (via SFWNV) ?

Hi!

----

Did anyone thought about shipping QEMu as part of Solaris Nevada (via
SFWNV) yet ?

Not that I''m aware of.  VBOX pretty much voids the need for the x86
stuff, and
the rest of the emulation (mips, ppc, arm, sparc) tends to move at a constant
development pace so there''s been no good "stop and build
here" point.

I slightly disagree in this case since VirtualBox does AFAIK not run on
SPARC or SystemZ and having an alternative on x86 may help in some
situations, too.

Umpf... that''s a management issue/decision of "upstream" but
nothing
which is IMO really a showstopper for integration into SFWNV.

Hi,

As long as VirtualBox does not run in a Xen Dom0 or DomU there is a need for
QEMU I think (QEMU runs fine in a Xen Dom0 without the accelerator).

Mmmh, the ARM emulation of QEMU as it''s now is enough to test new 
distributions for OpenMoko or Zaurus ...

Only my 2 cents

I agree that Vbox is nice, but I am still interested in QEMU on Solaris 
as there appears to be a valid Mac OS X client option available.

FYI - I do own Apple HW for anyone interested in bringing up the EULA issue.
