Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/0] binfmt script patches
Date: Wed,  8 Jan 2014 14:25:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389191134-16597-1-git-send-email-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)

Hi,

While working on my aarch64 work I found setting up binfmt was more of
a pain than it could have been. Specifically:

* hard-coded for /usr/local installs
* no help
* no error checking

Tellingly the script doesn't seem to be used by the distros who have
rolled their own binfmt_misc stuff around qemu. I also found it hard
to figure out why things were not working so I wrote a noddy checker
script for interrogating the state of binfmt.

I'm currently using the -d mode of this script and am running qemu
directly from my source tree (with $HOME bind mounted into my chroot)
and it seems to be working well.

Any comments? Worth pushing some love to the scripts upstream?


Cheers,
