versions of qemu prior to 1.0 only had experimental support for xen. Xen
is now part of qemu main-line, and so should be fully supported. See
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/QEMU_Upstream.
Should help people dealing with #4570 and #3328 because packer copies
`floppy_files` to floppy without any error even if they exceed 1.44 MB
limit. `floppy_dirs`throws error about FAT size limit exceeded but
without mentioning that real issue is the floppy size limit:
```
Build 'qemu' errored: Error adding path virtio_iso to floppy: FAT FULL
```
- Can now tune delay using PACKER_KEY_INTERVAL
- Added implementation to all of VMware and QEMU
- Removed double delay for QEMU
- Default key delay of 100ms (as before)
- Added docs to QEMU and VMware pages
This option allows to set the extension of the ISO file after download.
Defaults to "iso". It makes sense for building Mac OS X guests, where the
bootable image is actually a DMG, not an ISO.
In particular, it is important for "parallels-iso" builder to set the right extension.
Took some digging to realize that `iso_url` can actually take in a qcow2 or img format. This is fantastic and works great out of the box. I feel like adding the extra 2 lines of docs will help future users looking for this.
Add support for using ctrl, shift and alt as key modifiers. So you can now achieve ctrl+c by using "<leftCtrlOn>c<leftCtrlOff>".
Updated documentation for new key stroke tokens.
This commit allows for a user configurable VNC bind IP to be used for
QEMU.
By default this will be 127.0.0.1, alternatively, a user can use
0.0.0.0 which will bind to all interfaces.
This pull request should satisfy concerns of #3570 and #3559. It is
also in-line with the functionality provided by #3566 and #3565
