[Qemu-devel] [Request for Help] QEMU 0.15.0 change log

[Qemu-devel] [Request for Help] QEMU 0.15.0 change log

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

Hands down, 0.14.0 had the best change log of any QEMU release.  A large 
part of the success of the change log was how many people participated 
in creating it.  I'd love for us to go even further with 0.15.0.

I've created a template to start with:

http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/0.15

If you're a subsystem maintainer, please spend a few minutes writing up 
the highlights of your subsystem for 0.15.

Let's try to word things in terms of user-visible features instead of 
just references to commits.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

I just had to look at the 0.14 (.1) changelog and noticed that most links to 
the git-commits were currently not working, because git.qemu.org is 
(currently?) unreachable.

I took the oportunity to create the Wiki-Template 
<http://wiki.qemu.org/Template:Git> which can be used to create links to git 
commits by just writing
	{{git|56a60dd6d619877e9957ba06b92d2f276e3c229d}}
instead of hard-coding the host-name and path to gitweb in each link, so 
update the host and path now can be done easily in one place instead of 
multiple places. It's currently pointing to repo.or.cz.

I already converted the 0.14 and 0.15 ChangeLogs to use that template:
     s!\[http://git\.qemu\.org/qemu\.git/commit/?id=\(\x\+\) (commit)\]!{{git|
\1}}!g                                                                                           
     s!\[http://repo\.or\.cz/w/qemu\.git/commitdiff/\(\x\+\) (commit)\]!{{git|
\1}}!g                                                                                           
     s!\[http://repo\.or\.cz/w/qemu\.git/commit/\(\x\+\) (commit)\]!{{git|
\1}}!g                                                                                               

Sincerely
Philipp

It has been unreachable for very long time. How about switching back
to Savannah?

git.qemu.org is fine.  It's just that there no longer is cgit running on 
it.  This is due to resource limitations on qemu.org right now.

You can browse the tree via mirrors such as http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu.git

That is a bit lame, we could as well switch the git repo completely to
repo.or.cz (or back to Savannah). Then the repository and browsing
site would be in synch, now there is some delay. What is the advantage
for git.qemu.org? Commit hooks?
