Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-emulation mail= ing list <emulation@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 243906: emulators/qemu-user-static: update to 3.1 (+ deprecate qemu-sbr= uno) https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D243906 --- Description --- The main feature of the update to 3.1 is RISC-V support, contributed by Embecosm. Note that this is going to be enacted by removing the current emulators/qemu-user-static and repocopying qemu-user-static-devel over. qemu-user-static-devel itself is a repocopy of qemu-sbruno with the qemu-sy= stem bits removed. qemu-user-static doesn't have much interesting history attach= ed to it as a slave port of qemu-sbruno, so it feels more appropriate this way. In a separate commit, but in this same patch, we intend to deprecate qemu-sbruno. The system bits from our branch should match upstream pretty closely, and the versions should be converging going into the future as we'= ll continue to rebase user-static towards modern day qemu. I've tentatively put the date five months out, but I'm not convinced it matters if it's sooner or later -- there shouldn't really be many, if any, users of it.
