Hi,

I'd like to announce the creation of a QEMU stable branch based on the recent 0.10.0 release. You can access it via anonymous SVN via:

svn co svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/branches/stable_0_10_0

The stable branch will receive bug fixes from trunk until at least the next major release. If submitting a bug fix, please consider also testing the patch against stable and sending multiple patches if appropriate. Using a tag in the subject line like [STABLE] would also be helpful to indicate to the maintainers that a patch should be considered for the stable tree.

As the stable tree accumulates fixes, we'll make new stable releases from the tree.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

Not yet. I was hoping hpa could add a git mirror on kernel.org...

http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu.git?a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/svn/stable_0_10_0

FWIW the repo.or.cz mirror automatically fetches all branches.

Ciao,

Will a stable release be called 0.10.0.1 or 0.10.1? (I'd prefer the latter)

In this case, the branch ought to be called stable_0_10, no?

That's not a bad idea if everyone agrees that 0.10.1 is good stable naming convention. I was hoping to have the first stable release about 2 weeks after the 0.10.0 release FWIW. There's already some good stuff in the stable tree.

Could you please consider the configure patches for that release. They were intended to make it into 0.10.0 but are mostly still unreviewed.

Open issues in 0.10.0 include:
* undocumented command line switches
* $OS_CFLAGS ignored for some compile tests
* $CFLAGS ignored for compile tests
* L14N issues when grep'ing tool output

Thanks,

Andreas

Sure, but one of the patches was an [RFC] so another version is needed before it could be considered for review.

The other patch got some valid comments against it that still haven't been resolved. If you post newer versions, they can be considered for stable.

I just wonder if 0.XX is a good name for a stable release. May is suggest to increase the major number (1.XX).

I think you're confusing stability with features and completeness.

IMHO both stability is good and kvm/qemu has quite many features. Anyways,
it does not really matters if you prefer 0.XX (although it is quite uncommon
to use zero as major number for a software used by 10000 or more people).

I guess it depends on what targets you're talking about. Don't forget qemu supports CPU other than x86 and also has various user mode implementations.

I think 0.10.1 makes perfect sense for next stable release name.

Definitely the latter. I think the branch is mis-named, it should be stable_0_10 (with 0_10_0, 0_10_1 etc tags for actual releases).

FWIW, I renamed the branch to stable_0_10.
