Hi! I've made another qemu git snapshot port update, http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/qemu/qemu-devel-20091120.patch or, alternatively, http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/qemu/qemu-devel-20091120.shar and since our emulators/qemu-devel port still is older than the main port (and thus has been on IGNORE) am thinking about actually committing this version of the port if no major flaws are found. Soo, testing very much welcome! :) I'm not aware of something like a `condensed' changelog for qemu git (is there one? The Changelog file in git still stops at 0.10.2), but one of the major changes was the removal of kqemu support after the 0.11 branch was created (which I still plan to update the main emulators/qemu port to, probably after 0.11.1 has been released, so kqemu will still be available there for a little while longer.) Anyway, more emulated hw support has been added, internals have been overhauled, and probably a bunch of other interesting things happened that I forgot. Oh and the bsd-user targets (currently i386, amd64, and sparc64) are now good enough to run at least FreeBSD /rescue/bin/echo on FreeBSD, and even more (like /bin/sh or vim at least on x86) if you emulate the same arch you are running on. Whats now missing most I think is proper parameter passing of more syscalls, if someone is interested to help there I think at least some amount of code can be adapted from linux-user there... (And this time I have submitted at least some of the fixes I applied seperately on the qemu list.) Enjoy, Juergen
