I need this to test my build. Using sudo apt get install, I get a failed to fetch error.

We also need qemu-system-x86_64 to run the tests of HarveyOS.
In this branch I tried to install qemu-kvm (that according to this page, should contains qemu-system-x86_64), but as you can see travis complains that

Installing APT Packages (BETA)
Disallowing packages: qemu-kvm
If you require these packages, please review the package approval process at: https://github.com/travis-ci/apt-package-whitelist#package-approval-process

However I suppose that going toward the approval process would be useless since our problems seem related to Provide KVM virtualization in CI Environment.

Can you confirm?

Your build is requesting gemu-kvm (https://github.com/Shamar/harvey/blob/1f05ad93ca384b4dce020a60fbbc39ecd23b0fc6/.travis.yml#L7), so this message is correct.

Currently there is no package with the name gemu-* is listed (https://github.com/travis-ci/apt-package-whitelist/blob/46f3644e026f552829955f1541fad6cc82301757/ubuntu-precise).

I tripled checked that I did actually wrote qemu-kvm, not gemu-kvm! :-)

Actually, that's the point of the question: should we go towards the white list process or just wait for the kvm virtualzation support integration in the ci environment?

[BanzaiMan]

@Shamar Well, if you want to test the KVM setup now, do email [email protected], please.

[BanzaiMan]

I was informed that we might not be able to accommodate what you're trying to do on our platform at this time. Sorry.
