Deprecate 32 bit big-endian MIPS

2022-09-20T16:22:08+00:00

It's becoming harder to maintain a cross-compiler to test this host architecture as the old stable Debian 10 ("Buster") moved into LTS which supports fewer architectures. For now: - mark it's deprecation in the docs - downgrade the containers to build TCG tests only - drop the cross builds from our CI Users with an appropriate toolchain and user-space can still take their chances building it.

qga: Replace 'blacklist' command line and config file options by 'block-rpcs'

2022-09-20T10:37:00+00:00

Let's use a more appropriate wording for this command line and config file option. The old ones are still accepted for compatibility reasons, but marked as deprecated now so that it could be removed in a future version of QEMU. This change is based on earlier patches from Philippe Mathieu-Daudé, with the idea for the new option name suggested by BALATON Zoltan. And while we're at it, replace the "?" in the help text with "help" since that does not have the problem of conflicting with the wildcard character of the shells.

docs: build-platforms: Clarify stance on minor releases and backports

These changes match those made in the following libvirt commits: 2ac78307af docs: Clarify our stance on backported packages 78cffd450a docs: Spell out our policy concerning minor releases Since QEMU's platform support policy is based on libvirt's, it makes sense to mirror these recent changes made to the latter.

docs: Add caveats for Windows as the build platform

2022-07-22T17:01:44+00:00

Commit cf60ccc3306c ("cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism") introduced a Python script to populate a bundle directory using os.symlink() to point to the binaries in the pc-bios directory of the source tree. Commit 882084a04ae9 ("datadir: Use bundle mechanism") removed previous logic in pc-bios/meson.build to create a link/copy of pc-bios binaries in the build tree so os.symlink() is the way to go. However os.symlink() may fail [1] on Windows if an unprivileged Windows user started the QEMU build process, which results in QEMU executables generated in the build tree not able to load the default BIOS/firmware images due to symbolic links not present in the bundle directory. This commits updates the documentation by adding such caveats for users who want to build QEMU on the Windows platform.
