  * two virtio-scsi bugfixes from upstream:
    virtio-scsi-fix-ctrl-and-event-handler-functions-in-dataplane.patch
    virtio-scsi-don-t-waste-CPU-polling-the-event-virtqueue.patch

    targets, it does not help anymore" - it does help but it needs a bit
    more work
  * disable xen support for qemu-system-x86 build and create a wrapper
    for -i386 to redirect xen-related usage to xen-specific binary
    with a warning (for bookworm only)
  * common-user-no-user.patch: fix one of FTBFS on unsupported architectures
  * d/rules: use regular variable assignment for BUILD_PACKAGES

qemu (1:7.0+dfsg-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/rules: the forgotten --enable-xen-pci-passthrough for the xen build
  * d/tests/test-qemu-user: rewrite to be more robust and complete and
    include test for qemu-user-static too.

qemu (1:7.0+dfsg-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/tests/test-qemu-user.sh: more arch-specific debugging/updates

qemu (1:7.0+dfsg-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/tests/: fix failing tests.
    - test-qemu-user: depend on gcc for dpkg-architecture to work,
      and print debugging info for future switch to uname -m
    - test-qemu-img: switch from using file to qemu-img info

qemu (1:7.0+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Michael Tokarev ]
  * d/binfmt-install: also generate binfmt.d/ entries for systemd

  * d/rules: do not explicitly turn off slirp & capstone (now properly
    controlled by --with[out]-default-features option)
  * d/rules: do not try to enable tcg-interpreter on the unsupported
    targets, it does not help to build tools anymore

    build-depend-indep on gcc-arm-none-eabi
  * create a new binary package, qemu-system-xen, which provides
    /usr/libexec/xen-qemu-system-i386 binary for use by xen only.
    Once xen switches to use this binary instead of usual qemu-system-i386,
    xen support will be removed from the regular qemu-system-x86 build
  * use a fast inline version of /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk

qemu (1:6.2+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Christian Ehrhardt ]

  - querying and setting guest system time
  - performing guest filesystem sync operation
  - initiating guest shutdown or suspend to ram
  - accessing guest files
  - freezing/thawing guest filesystem operations
  - others.
 .
