Just.. curious -- why there are no tarballs for the dotdot-point
releases like this one?  Not that it's hugely important to have
the tarballs but... :)

Thanks,

I thought the stable releases would have a smaller audience, so didn't
think it was needed.

I tried to push the tar file up to the server, but I am having a
difficulty pushing files right now.  Hopefully I'll get the 1.7.2.2
tar up in a few days.

Hi, Kevin
    I found my guest can't boot up in nested KVM env, while using old
bios it succeed:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
? panic
? do_exit
? fput
? do_group_exit
? sys_exit_group
? system_call_fastpath

* RH6.4(no cpu specifed, kernel 3.10, latest qemu, latest seabios)
      |
   RH6.4(CPU KVM-64, kernel 3.10)
      |
   Fedora18(kernel, kernel 3.8.11)
      |
   intel vmx

   I simply supplied the parameter -bios to replace bios.bin in qemu
command line, did I miss something?

   It works normal after replacing bios.bin as README in a directory,
pls ignore above mail, sorry for disturb.

qemu upstream project doesn't need tarballs as it simply uses a git
submodule.

distros usually compile seabios from source instead of using the
prebuild binary included in the qemu tarball (for gpl compliance and
other reasons).  So having tarballs even for minor releases is useful.

While talking about releases:  There are quite some changes accumulated
in master, time to cut a new release I think.  Given that sorting the
acpi table issue seems to take more time than expected, how about freeze
+ call for patches _now_, release 1.7.3 some-when in June, then plan to
merge the apci changes (however it works out) for 1.7.4?

cheers,
  Gerd
