The original virtme project is not maintained anymore
(https://github.com/amluto/virtme), so we decided to fork the project
and continue the development / bug fixing in virtme-ng
(https://github.com/arighi/virtme-ng).

Some people are already using and contributing to virtme-ng and there
are plans to package it in SuSE.

Honestly I don't know what would be the right procedure to "obsolete"
the old virtme package and replace it virtme-ng (if possible), but
ideally it would be nice to do something like this. Any guidance or
suggestion is welcome.

I suggest we evaluate switching upstream from virtme to virtme-ng, on the Debian virtme package. I would not mind if you want to be added as uploader for the package.

Ricardo has been working on virtme. What do you think?

Regards
