Subject: [qemu-web PATCH v2] Fix installation instructions for Debian/Ubuntu
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2023 11:24:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230629092425.183618-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
There is no package called "qemu" here - thus use the two meta-packages
"qemu-system" and "qemu-user-static" instead.
While we're at it, add a note for people who might not need all
emulator binaries - in that case it makes sense to have a look
at the list of available packages first.
Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu-web/-/issues/8
Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

v2:
- Separate the installation instruction for system and user-mode
- Add a note for people who don't need all targets
