[Qemu-devel] Common Xen/KVM patchqueue repository?

[Qemu-devel] Common Xen/KVM patchqueue repository?

[Samuel Thibault]

Hello,

We were wondering whether it could be useful to have e.g. a git
repository holding the patches from Xen and KVM: while they are being
merged upstream, they could at least be shared by both projects...

KVM currently maintains a git tree of it's QEMU changes so 
unfortunately, things aren't nicely separated into patches.  As you may 
have noticed, I've posted the core KVM support patches and I'm hoping we 
can merge them pretty soon.

I am then going to follow up and try to get the remainder of the patches 
merged.  In the short term, we will probably continue maintaining a git 
tree against QEMU as a staging repository but I hope that we can 
regularly sync up (just like we do with Linux).  In the long term, I'd 
like KVM not to maintain a QEMU tree at all.

In a broader sense, I know there are concerns about patches getting 
missed on qemu-devel.  I don't think the solution is to maintain a 
separate patch queue, but to get the patches merged more quickly in the 
first place.
