Since the commit ccd3b3b811 of QEMU, the short-form boolean options in
qemu cmdline like "server", "nowait", "disable-ticketing"
are deprecated:
qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,fd=38,server,nowait: warning:
short-form boolean option 'server' deprecated
Please use server=on instead
qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,fd=38,server,nowait: warning:
short-form boolean option 'nowait' deprecated
Please use wait=off instead
qemu-system-x86_64: -spice
port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing,plaintext-channel=main,plaintext-channel=inputs,image-compression=auto_glz,jpeg-wan-compression=auto,zlib-glz-wan-compression=auto,playback-compression=on,streaming-video=filter,disable-copy-paste,disable-agent-file-xfer,seamless-migration=on:
warning: short-form boolean option 'disable-ticketing' deprecated
Please use disable-ticketing=on instead
Use normal form boolean options with value "on" or "off".
