The speedup is nice, but we need to be able to regenerate the tarball
without access to a Windows machine.  Otherwise whoever adds a new
dependency cannot test it himself with CI.

Ideally, the tarball would be generated by the containers job in the
Gitlab CI, but I'm not sure if that's possible.

On top of this, whoever commits this needs to replace the URL with
something under download.qemu.org, but that's the easy part.

IMHO any caching should be integrated into the Cirrus CI job itself.
Cirrus has builtin support for caching the contents of a folder, so
the first time the job runs it should populate the cache, and that
can be used thereafter.

Daniel

I agree with Daniel - please let's not get go this way again. We've had this
with the various Free-/Net-/OpenBSD images in the past, and then we were
suddenly stuck with a fixed image where most people were not able to change
it anymore. That was very frustrating.

Apart from that, you also have to respect the GPL if you provide binaries
... so you'd need to gather all the sources for that blob, too, and be ready
to provide those in case somebody asks...

Yonggang, could you please try to use the caching mechanism of Cirrus-CI
instead? See https://cirrus-ci.org/guide/writing-tasks/#cache-instruction
... then we're a little bit more independent from downloading the msys2 for
each CI run.
