Hi, since qemu/qemu-kvm 0.12.x kqemu is no longer supported. kqemu package is removed from the repositories, if you still need kqemu support please compile 0.11 series and kqemu module yourself.
A few things:
* the contradictory message in the package itself: [2010-01-08 19:01] >>> Since kernel 2.6.29: [2010-01-08 19:01] >>> Qemu package now provides standard qemu with kvm enabled.

[2010-01-08 19:01] upgraded qemu (0.11.1-1 -> 0.12.1-1)
* Let's use proper punctuation and capitalization around here. How about this: With the release of qemu and qemu-kvm 0.12.X, the kqemu kernel module is no longer supported and will be removed from the repositories. You can safely uninstall it from your system.
* I had a hard time finding upstream documentation as to why this deprecation happened, but I am guessing it is because KVM is the new hotness. If that is correct, it might not hurt to add that to the note as well.

Yes will change the install message. Yes there is no mention in the changelogs, really strange. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
