Re: [Qemu-devel] qemu and configuration file?

[Giuseppe Della Bianca]

Hi.

My idea is this:  
- qemu start 
- set up of the hardcode parameters 
- reading of the configuration file and set up of the parameters 
- set up of the parameters of command line 

Example of configuration file:
[general]
  ....
  [vlan0]
    ip= x.y.x.w
    mac= l:m:n:o
    ....
  [/vlan0]
[/general]

[suse.img]
  ....
  [vlan3]
    mac= h:j:k:l
    ....
  [/vlan3]
[/suse.img]

[win.img]
  ....
  [vlan2]
    mac= z:x:c:v
    ....
  [/vlan2]
[/win.img]

Result: 
- full compatibility with every version of qemu 
- more flexibility 
- possibility to set up the hardcode parameters 
- possibility of parameters personalized for every image 

One similar thing, with smaller flexibility, is possible 
 without modify qemu and using one series of bash script.

Comments are welcomes (at least one "it does not interest to us").
