Question about OS/2 support under QEMU....

[Roderick Klein]

Hello

Recently a bug was opened to get QEMU to support OS/2 again (newer 
versions of OS/2).
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2198

I would like to point out a company from the US supports a current 
version of OS/2 called ArcaOS.  I was trying to help out to figure out 
where I could point the company to contact somebody at QEMU (if the QEMU 
team is interested) to receive a copy a ArcaOS so they could test QEMU ?

BTW where is documentation how to create clipboard and mouse integration 
for QEMU. I recently worked on a project for ESXi and would like to look 
what could be done to get VM integration for ArcaOS done for QEMU.

Best regards,

Ideally to defend its support in CI we would want an unencumbered
download so an avocado test can be written that downloads and runs the
image.

I guess you are looking for Spice?

  https://spice-space.org/

You run a guest agent on the guest that talks to some spice devices to
pass information back and forth between the host and guest.
