Michal Suchanek 9fde5121de - Update to 1.40: 
* No significant change, this is just a very small hotfix release
    to solve a packaging problem introduced by a conflict with the
    new vng-mcp tool.
  * While at it, there're also some small improved hints in the MCP
    server, so that AI agents can better understand how to build
    the kernel using vng --build.

Mon Dec 1 11:11:05 UTC 2025 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.39:
* The most noticeable change in this release is the new Model Context
Protocol (MCP) server. This feature lets you connect with AI
assistants such as Claude, Cursor, etc., and use natural human
language to automate kernel development tasks.
In this way, AI agents can automatically configure kernels, apply
patches from lore.kernel.org, and run commands within recompiled
kernels. You can even have the AI agent perform bug bisection for
you and run specific commands/scripts inside each recompiled
version to determine whether the kernel is good or bad.
* An additional feature is vCPU pinning (using the --pin CPU_LIST option),
which enables binding virtual CPUs to particular physical host CPUs.
This ensures more consistent performance testing within the vng guest
environment.
* The release also adds support for memoryless NUMA nodes,
enablingusers to specify size=0 with the --numa argument to create
NUMA nodes without memory. This capability can be useful for simulating
heterogeneous architectures, where devices like GPUs are represented
as memoryless NUMA nodes to model their CPU locality relationships.
* Last, but not least, there's a new --shell BINARY option which lets
users choose a different shell to use within the vng session, rather
than using their system's default shell and a new --empty-password
option that creates empty passwords in the vng guest, instead of
blocking login for other users, enabling easier debugging and SSH
access during testing.
* Updated Python versions in CI (dropped EOL 3.8 and 3.9)
* Various bug fixes in virtme-init
* Enhanced documentation and README updates
* Improved error handling and validation
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 29 05:51:22 UTC 2025 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.38:
* Fix the infamous Stale file handle (ESTALE) errors with virtiofsd
* Fix for systemctl daemon-reload when systemd support is enabled
* Fix for a kernel symlink issue affecting openSUSE/SLE
* README/docs improvements
* Various coding style cleanups
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Aug 11 06:27:20 UTC 2025 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.37:
The most interesting feature in this new version is the initial
support for systemd.
Until now, virtme-ng didn’t support systemd because it relied on a custom
init system (virtme-ng-init) to speed up boot time. As a result, tests
requiring systemd couldn't run inside the virtme-ng session. With the new
--systemd option, virtme-ng can now (optionally) boot with systemd in the
virtualized environment, enabling full systemd interaction during testing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 13 05:27:10 UTC 2025 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon May 5 09:15:53 UTC 2025 - Fredrik Lönnegren <fredrik.lonnegren@suse.com>
- Update to 1.35:
* Just a hotfix release to revert a change that broke some CI workflows
- Update to 1.34:
* This new version includes lots of improvements in the SSH protocol and a
better support for the s390 architecture.
* Now, by default, SSH connections to the guest are using vsock, a
lightweight transport that bypasses the full network stack and can speed up
testing workflows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 27 08:31:42 UTC 2025 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.33:
* Restrict the SSH port to localhost (to mitigate potential security
risks when --ssh is used)
* Support for running amd64 vng instances on non-x86 platforms
(e.g., running an x86 vng instance on arm64)

- Workaround python packaging deficiency
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Sep 11 08:49:19 UTC 2024 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.29:
* 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
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep 6 06:06:23 UTC 2024 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>

- Add BuildRequires for python-argparse-manpage and install man
page if we are on TW. Older versions don't have the dep yet
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jul 31 06:37:11 UTC 2024 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.27:
* Introduce VNG_PACKAGE to force a proper packaging version
virtme-ng v1.27
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jul 30 03:59:00 UTC 2024 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.26:

kernel config options (with --build)
* Bug fixes
- Remove 0001-virtme-ng-fix-virtiofsd-search-path-on-openSUSE.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun 10 10:00:40 UTC 2024 - Johannes Thumshirn <jth@kernel.org>
- Fix virtiofsd search path
+ 0001-virtme-ng-fix-virtiofsd-search-path-on-openSUSE.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 22 06:19:47 UTC 2024 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.25:
* significantly improve boot time with the microvm architecture
(simply by enabling the RTC and avoiding unnecessary boot time
that most kernels spend probing for a non-existent RTC)
* virtme: make sure RTC is enabled with microvm
* virtme-ng: silent lint errors
* github: new test with KVM support
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 3 20:55:04 UTC 2024 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.24:
* The most noticeable changes include the support for the loop
network type and the possibility to specify the --network
command multipe times, both useful for kernel selftests testing
* Moreover, there is a boot-time improvement in environments where
the kvm acceleration is not available, such as container, cloud
environments, etc. (using the q35 arch in qemu).
* Notably, this new version is expected to enhance the performance
of GitHub workflows that use virtme-ng.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 29 14:17:01 UTC 2024 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.23:
* Fix breakage with QEMU 8.2.2
* Change behaviour of --kconfig, that will always override
the .config if present (since there is not reason to use
--kconfig and not update the .config).
* It is now possible to force the legacy cgroup v1 using the
option -a "SYSTEMD_CGROUP_ENABLE_LEGACY_FORCE=1": the vng
init script will mimic systemd behavior and mount cgroup v1,
instead of v2.
- Drop qemu-remove-unnecessary-serial-none-arg.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Mar 28 08:05:50 UTC 2024 - Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@suse.com>
- qemu 8.2.2 compatibility
* qemu-remove-unnecessary-serial-none-arg.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 4 12:25:43 UTC 2024 - Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 1.22:
* Fix potential sudo errors (in openSUSE, Fedora, CachyOS)
* Propagate /proc/sys/fs/nr_open from host to guest
* More robust parsing of upstream kernel versions
* Small command help improvements
- Update to 1.21:
* When running in script mode do not hang in case of kernel panic,
but return the special error code 255 (this allows to automate
catching kernel panics)
* Redirect kernel log to stderr on the host when running in interactive
mode: this allows to easily save the kernel log to a file (or pipe
it to another tool), simply by runing a vng -vr 2>/tmp/kernel.log
* vng --dump can now generate a memory dump compatible with drgn
* It is now possible to use virtiofsd with a btrfs root filesystem
on the host (e.g., default openSUSE setup)
* It is not possible to to use the microvm architecture with kernels
that don't have built-in virtio-pci / virtio-mmio (e.g., stock
openSUSE Tumbleweed kernel)
- Update to 1.20:
* The return code of a command executed in the vng guest is now
transparently channeled to the host: this, together with
stdin/stdout/stderr redirection, gives the complete illusion to
run the command in the guest as if it was executed on the host
and it can help to easily integrate vng with other CI tools/scripts
* NUMA support: it is now possible to create multiple NUMA nodes,
and assign CPUs to them, inside a vng guest,
using the --numa option.
* new --quiet option to override --verbose
* new --disable-kvm option to explicitly disable hardware
virtualization (KVM)
* lockdep is now disabled by default during the kernel build
- Update to 1.19:
* The most noticeable change is definitely the support for running
virtme-ng inside Docker containers. This opens the possibility for
many other projects to use virtme-ng to potentially pick any
arbitrary kernel to run their tests inside their Docker instances.
* The other interesting change (this one only for Ubuntu users) is
the --root-release argument (used together with --root) that allows
bootstrapping a rootfs from scratch, selecting a specific Ubuntu
release. The rootfs will be created from the latest Ubuntu cloud
image of the target release.
- Add dependency on `requests`
- Add _service file:
They use git submodule to get virtme_ng_init.
