Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: Don't try to parse -help for new QEMU

Since QEMU 1.2.0, we switched to QMP probing instead of parsing -help (and other commands, such as -cpu ?) output. However, if QMP probing failed, we still tried starting QEMU with various options and parsing the output, which was guaranteed to fail because the output changed. Let's just refuse parsing -help for QEMU >= 1.2.0. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160318 Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar(a)redhat.com&gt; --- Notes: Version 2: - fixes comparison to avoid parsing -help for 1.2.0 (> vs >=)
