From 5890258aeeba303704ec1adca415e46067800777 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2022 18:20:47 +0200 Subject: Remove the slirp submodule (i.e. compile only with an external libslirp) Since QEMU 7.1 we don't support Ubuntu 18.04 anymore, so the last big important Linux distro that did not have a pre-packaged libslirp has been dismissed. All other major distros seem to have a libslirp package in their distribution already - according to repology.org: Fedora 35: 4.6.1 CentOS 8 (RHEL-8): 4.4.0 Debian 11: 4.4.0 OpenSUSE Leap 15.3: 4.3.1 Ubuntu LTS 20.04: 4.1.0 FreeBSD Ports: 4.7.0 NetBSD pkgsrc: 4.7.0 Homebrew: 4.7.0 MSYS2 mingw: 4.7.0 The only one that was still missing a libslirp package is OpenBSD - but the next version (OpenBSD 7.2 which will be shipped in October) is going to include a libslirp package. Since QEMU 7.2 will be published after OpenBSD 7.2, we should be fine there, too. So there is no real urgent need for keeping the slirp submodule in the QEMU tree anymore. Thus let's drop the slirp submodule now and rely on the libslirp packages from the distributions instead.
