Description George Kiagiadakis 2012-05-14 12:40:38 UTC 
qemu-kvm currently conflicts with qemu-user (and so does qemu), but this conflict is unnecessary if no QEMU_USER_TARGETS are set. On my system I would like to build qemu-user separately from qemu-kvm and this conflict is quite annoying. qemu 1.0-r3 has a nice trick for that:

for target in ${IUSE_USER_TARGETS}; do
        IUSE="${IUSE} +qemu_user_targets_${target}"
        RDEPEND="${RDEPEND}
                         !app-emulation/qemu-user[qemu_user_targets_${target}?]"
done

but apparently this hasn't been continued in the 1.0.1 ebuild.
Please consider applying this trick in future ebuilds of qemu-kvm (and perhaps qemu as well).


Reproducible: Always

qemu-kvm-1.1.0 now supports being installed alongside qemu-user in theory. Open a ticket if that's not the case.
