[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] configure: disallow spaces and colons in source path and build path

[Antonio Ospite <ao2@ao2.it>]

Hi,

Here is a v2 patch set to address
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1817345

The series follows up to:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-03/msg05290.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-03/msg05573.html

Changes since v1:
  - Add a preparatory patch to set source_path only once and in a more
    robust way.

  - Move the checks in configure after the source_path definition to
    avoid using realpath which is not available everywhere.

  - Cover also the build path in Makefile. An extensive explanation of
    why I think this is needed is here:
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-03/msg05398.html

Thanks,
   Antonio
