    app-emulation/libguestfs: add 1.54.1
    
    Removal of "systemtap" USE flag. No longer supported by upstream
    Removal of "gtk" USE flag. No longer links against GTK.
    Merge "inspect-icons" into {R,}DEPEND. This flag didn't do what it said,
    it just added some additional support for some icon formats.
    Added "vala" use flag for Vala binding.
    Completely refactored dependencies. This package's build system is a mess.
    It automagically probes things, some of which it never uses with
    certain options.
    libvirt will be the default backend with the libvirt USE flag is set.
    Either dev-libs/libisoburn or app-cdr/cdrtools can satisfy dependency
    (former preferred)
    Several bugs fixed
    Broken tests skipped, some previously broken tests were fixed.
    Python 3.13 support added
    
    Without KVM acceleration, the tests take a long time
    (On a 8-core 11th gen Intel processor with hyperthreading it takes
    2 to 3 hours to run the test suite). One of the tests alone have 600
    sub-tests and takes 30-60 minutes to complete just that one test.
    This can worked around by adding a strategic "addwrite /dev/kvm"
    and the proper /dev/kvm permissions so Portage can access it
    (for testing only, not for production use!). Or turn off the sandboxes, however,
    some tests will succeed when they would normally fail in the sandbox,
    so I don't recommend it for development purposes.
    With KVM, the whole testsuite runs in 5-10 minutes.
