Virtme-ng

This is a minor release to fix a packaging issue, after an attempt to modernize the build system we realized that we were not installing the bash completion file anymore, so we have temporarily reverted the change to cut this new release.

This is mostly for distro that may have missed the bash completion and the default config file with the previous release (v1.30).

In addition to this packaging fix, there is also the initial support to run virtme-ng on macOS, which is pretty cool (thanks tamird)!

Detailed ChangeLog:

Andrea Righi (2):
setup.py: update contact email
virtme-ng v1.31

Michal Suchanek (1):
Revert "Modernize build system"

Tamir Duberstein (4):
Make it build on macOS
Remove redundant initialization
Remove usage of os.uname
Make qemu work on macOS

The most noticeable changes in this new version are the initial support for NVIDIA GPUs passthrough (thanks to ianm-nv), the possibility to use pre-compiled -rc kernels from Ubuntu mainline builds, the possibility to use virtiofs natively on arm64, some improvements to run virtme-ng cross-architecture and cross-distro and the usual set of bug fixes.

Future plans include the generalization of PCI passthrough support (not only GPUs) and improving the cross-architecture support.

vng: allow to use -rc kernels from Ubuntu mainline builds

fix command to install vng_init in pipx

virtme-ng v1.29 has been released just with a minor packaging fix, addressing an issue where the `requirements.txt` file was missing from the source tarball published on PyPI.

This won't affect anyone, unless you're trying to build virtme-ng directly from the tarball available on PyPI.

No major changes in this release, just a few bug fixes that are worth for cutting a new release and a small boot time improvement, so, it's pretty safe to update.

Detailed ChangeLog:


Andrea Righi (4):
setup.py: include dependencies parsing requirements.txt
virtme-ng: fix typo in command help
virtme-configkernel: disable nvram support
virtme-ng v1.28

There are no changes in this new v1.27 release, just bumping up the version to fix a packaging issue with Pypi.

Detailed ChangeLog

version: introduce VNG_PACKAGE to force a proper packaging version
virtme-ng v1.27

The most noticeable changes are: the proper integration with Arch Linux (thanks for the CachyOS https://cachyos.org/ community for the help!), the inclusion of a vng manpage, the host's `/tmp` is now also visible from the guest, a new `--configitem` option that allows to quickly change specific kernel config options (with `--build`) and the usual set of bug fixes.
