I don't think it's dead at all. I see those guys interacting with the |
27 |
KVM developers. I've never used Qemu but I suspect that the kqemu |
28 |
stuff you're looking for is now what they're doing with KVM which |
29 |
seems to be a pretty lively project. Qemu is not at 0.15 so it looks |
30 |
like portage is a bit behind I guess. |
