We're working toward getting kvm merged with qemu so at some point there won't be a separate kvm userspace tree with qemu. That aside, I know Anthony was interested in having this available to test out incoming patches against different qemu build targets, kvm and x86 are just one of those. > AFAICS You're going to have to download gigabytes of images anyway, so > wouldn't it make more sense to include the test script with those? We're punting on the images; developers already have images they use or can easily create[1] such an images. We should be writing tests that are general enough to work with differing images in any case. 1. http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/KVMTest -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx (512) 838-9253 T/L: 678-9253 ryanh@us.ibm.com
