QEMU patch queue

QEMU patch queue

[Anthony Liguori]

Howdy,

Are we still maintaining a QEMU patch queue anywhere or are patches just 
going right into unstable?  I took a look at Christian's pq tree on 
xenbits but it appears to have not been updated in a while.

I'm currently looking at the V2E work and there are quite a lot of QEMU 
changes (a lot of which probably get us closer back to mainline).

How do people feel about getting rid of the full QEMU tree in unstable 
and just having a patch queue?  I know there was talk about just using a 
patch queue for linux for 3.0.4.

I'd be willing to submit a patch to add the appropriate makefile magic 
so that make grabbed a copy of QEMU from somewhere and applied the patches.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

There already is a patch queue for QEMU within the unstable tree:
 tools/ioemu/patches/

The full tree is kept as a convenience, but the patch queue is the
definitive version.

There are changesets (such as the recent VNC password) that don't appear 
to have corresponding patches in tools/ioemu/patches.

Is the idea to apply the patches to the tree and have the patches in 
hg?  Should people be submitting patches against tools/ioemu/patches?
