From 454012997e0818e371750893c87c28c155ef14e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Fri, 4 May 2018 17:13:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] qemu-options: Mark -virtioconsole as deprecated The qemu-doc already states that this option is only maintained for backward compatibility and "-device virtconsole" should be used instead. So let's take the next step and mark this option officially as deprecated.
