==========================================================================

NOTE: An advanced PPA for the latest virtualisation software. Adding this PPA and upgrading the system will install many changes, especially for older systems (Xenial & Bionic era). Be sure you want this before choosing to proceed and as always: do a full system backup before such an upgrade!

Update (17 Mar 2021): A workaround for a long-standing issue with libvirt backport (currently 7.0.0) on Xenial systems is now included. The issue was the libvirtd service consistently failing to start on boot due to a "start request repeated too quickly" error, which is fixed by adding a systemd startup timer of 30 seconds to force a delayed libvirtd start.

If you are using this PPA for Bionic (or newer) and are seeing a similar issue then please report this as a bug. Then the libvirtd package will be updated for the series in question by adding the same libvirtd.timer unit.

*** Install ***

Note for all: This PPA depends on ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4 for all series. For a successful install all users therefore need to do the following steps:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/virtualisation
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Notes for Xenial: This PPA depends on ppa:savoury1/display for newer than default display drivers, which newer virtualisation software here depends on. Thus, for Xenial-based systems add this command at top of those above:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/display

Lastly, GTK >= 3.22 is required for virt-manager >= 3.2.0 so the following command must be added to the above commands for virt-manager on Xenial:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/gtk-xenial

*** Build ***

This PPA has build dependencies on:

  ppa:savoury1/build-tools
  ppa:savoury1/backports
  ppa:savoury1/encryption
  ppa:savoury1/python
  ppa:savoury1/multimedia
  ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4
  ppa:savoury1/display

Additionally, for Xenial & Bionic:

  ppa:savoury1/tex-2019
  ppa:savoury1/goland-defaults-1.13

Additionally, for Xenial only:

  ppa:savoury1/toolchain
  ppa:savoury1/perl-xenial
  ppa:savoury1/gtk-xenial
  ppa:savoury1/gcc-defaults-7 (specific builds only)
