Re: [Qemu-devel] news on the OS X cocoa port

[Mike Kronenberg <mike.kronenberg@kberg.ch>]

I have implemented .qvm as a test in Q.

Here is a sample configuration.plist and some additions to my initial 
proposal:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>About</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Author</key>
        <string>Q</string>
        <key>Copyright</key>
        <string>none</string>
        <key>Date</key>
        <date>2005-08-07T19:25:41Z</date>
        <key>Description</key>
        <string>Converted guest PC from cocoaqemu.plist</string>
    </dict>
    <key>Arguments</key>
    <dict>
        <key>-boot</key>
        <string>c</string>
        <key>-cdrom</key>
        <string>/dev/cdrom</string>
        <key>-hda</key>
        <string>harddisk_1.img</string>
        <key>-localtime</key>
        <true/>
        <key>-m</key>
        <integer>16</integer>
        <key>-user-net</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
    <key>PC Data</key>
    <dict>
        <key>architecture</key>
        <string>x86</string>
        <key>name</key>
        <string>Freedos</string>
        <key>state</key>
        <string>shutdown</string>
    </dict>
    <key>Temporary</key>
    <dict>
        <key>-cocoapath</key>
        <string>/Users/mike/Documents/QEMU/Freedos.qvm</string>
    </dict>
    <key>Version</key>
    <string>0.1.0.Q</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Changes:
    - the type <integer> for integer values:
        <key>-m</key>
        <integer>16</integer>
    - diskimages can have a relative path (to the .qvm root) or a 
absolute path, to an image outside the package:
        <key>-hda</key>
        <string>harddisk_1.img</string>
    - the key "architecture" for the used CPU
        <key>architecture</key>
        <string>x86</string>
    - the key "state" can take the following values:
        <key>state</key>
        <string>shutdown</string>
        <string>running</string>
        <string>saved</string>

On OS X, if you have Q installed, .qvm packages show as a single file 
and you can start QEMU by doubleclicking a .qvm package.
See the info.plist in Q.app/Contents for the Document definition.
