Comment 50 for bug 156085

I've published kvm USB sys file-system enabled packages for Gutsy, Hardy, and Intrepid based on kvm-74 in my PPA.

If people could test them I'd appreciate it. Please read the manual page "man kvm" for information on how to configure the system to allow non-root access to the USB devices.

If the tests don't show any problems I'll investigate back-porting the patch to the version in the Hardy repository, and to the qemu package.

I expect the Intrepid packages will catch up with upstream before release. If not, I'll do a similar patch.

I'm submitting the patch upstream to qemu. If accepted it should be merged into kvm not too long after. Once Ubuntu catches up to a future kvm/qemu release the package-patch can be dropped.
