Request: Please update to QEMU 2.2 in Vivid

[GizmoChicken]

If possible to do so, please update to QEMU 2.2 in Vivid before the feature freeze. Thanks!

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

I am waiting for 2.2 to be promoted in Debian from experimental to unstable. I intend to merge 2.2 when that happens, or on Feb 10, whichever happens first.

If you have a need to tes tsome things earlier, please coment here and I can merge it earlier.

Thanks for the reply, Serge. No hurry. I'm currently using QEMU 2.2 from ppa:jacob/virtualisation on Utopic. It seems to be working well, but I'd prefer to install it from the official repository when I upgrade to Vivid. Thanks much!
