Without my patch and with --with-pkgversion=foo :
{ "execute": "query-version" }
{"return": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 11, "major": 2}, "package": "(foo)"}}
With my patch and with --with-pkgversion=foo :
{ "execute": "query-version" }
{"return": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 11, "major": 2}, "package": "
(foo)"}}
Without my patch and without --with-pkgversion :
{ "execute": "query-version" }
{"return": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 11, "major": 2}, "package": "
(v2.11.0-1512-g02f4fbe)"}}
Using the old QEMU version 67a1de0d19~1 with --with-pkgversion=foo :
{ "execute": "query-version" }
{"return": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 6, "major": 2}, "package": " (foo)"}}
So yes, this patch changes the behavior of query-version, but the new
behavior is now the same behavior that you get without --with-pkgversion
(i.e. a space is included) and it is the same as the behavior that we had
in the past, before commit 67a1de0d19 has been merged. So I think this
is the right way to go.
Alternatively, we could maybe change query-version to always skip the
initial space?
