(In reply to comment #0) [...] There are at least 3 issues covered in this. Please file separate bugs for separate issues. But on this one: > Why we can't just make an alias of qemu -> qemu-kvm ? > Please add this alias. This should simplify my qemu usage. This would be wrong. Upstream 'qemu' is the software i386 emulator. It's very different from 'qemu-kvm'. In Fedora we have changed 'qemu' to 'qemu-system-i386' to make the name consistent with the other 'qemu-system-*' programs. We should not add confusion by changing the definition of 'qemu' from what is upstream.

We should not add confusion > by changing the definition of 'qemu' from what is upstream. Actually, it was upstream who renamed 'qemu' to 'qemu-system-i386'. Per their changelog http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/1.0 "i386-softmmu is no longer named qemu but instead referred to as qemu-system-i386 for better consistency with other targets. A new tool is likely to be introduced that uses the qemu name so distributions are advised to not undo this change. " As such, Fedora will *not* be creating any binary named 'qemu', until upstream does. I'm just going to symlink qemu-kvm.1 and qemu-system-* to the qemu.1 manpage, it's about the best we can do. qemu-1.4.2-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-1.4.2-1.fc19 Package qemu-1.4.2-1.fc19: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 19 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
