If you look at the contents, approx. 80% of the size is used for the firmware sources that we ship along to provide the sources for the ROM binaries. This feels very wrong, why do we urge users to download such huge tarballs while 99.9% of them never will rebuilt the firmware sources? We were also struggeling a bit in the past already with server load and costs, so we should really try to decrease the size of our release tarballs to a saner level. So let's split the firmware sources into a separate tarball to decrease the size of the main QEMU sources tarball a lot (which should help us to safe a lot of traffic on the server). Additional improvements for the make-release script add a little help text and speed it up by downloading less data from the various git repositories. v2: - Move the firmware sources into a separate tarball instead of dropping the edk2 and skiboot sources.
