Description Miroslav Lachman 2023-05-02 15:35:37 UTC 
I have built and installed qemu@guestagent flavor (resulting package is: qemu-guest-agent-7.2.0_3) for the first time and to my surprise it shows me pkg-message of 90 useless lines. All information is for the main qemu package, not related to qemu-guest-agent.

Installing qemu-guest-agent should show a different message:

To run the guest agent on startup, add qemu_guest_agent_enable="YES"
in to /etc/rc.conf. Extra options can be found in the startup script.

Start it with: service qemu-guest-agent start
