Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] qemu-doc: Update the deprecation information of -tftp, -bootp, -redir and -smb
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 16:28:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1513697336-2863-4-git-send-email-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1513697336-2863-1-git-send-email-thuth@redhat.com>

The information how to update the deprecated parameters was too scarce,
so that some people did not update to the new syntax yet. Provide some
more information to make sure that it is clear how to update from the
old syntax to the new one.

 @subsection -tftp (since 2.6.0)
 
-The ``-tftp /some/dir'' argument is now a synonym for setting
-the ``-netdev user,tftp=/some/dir' argument. The new syntax
-allows different settings to be provided per NIC.
+The ``-tftp /some/dir'' argument is replaced by
