My backlog is considerable, and the time I am able to dedicate to ensuring that fixes don't break legacy operating systems is slim. My native understanding of older operating systems and legacy software is also quite sparse. Since the pandemic started, I haven't had any access to any physical hardware to validate our emulation, either. I need more expertise in verifying and validating that patches to these systems to not harm older operating systems. If you know of any automated (or semi-automated) tests that can be used as a test suite to help validate that new patches don't regress support, I'd love to discuss it. Help Wanted, please! I don't want to keep letting people down over my inability to give proper attention to these devices. > > Signed-off-by: John Snow > --- > MAINTAINERS | 4 ++-- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS > index fa10ecaeb94..97d0f2fdc8f 100644 > --- a/MAINTAINERS > +++ b/MAINTAINERS > @@ -1784,7 +1784,7 @@ F: hw/misc/edu.c > IDE > M: John Snow > L: qemu-block@nongnu.org > -S: Supported > +S: Odd Fixes > F: include/hw/ide.h > F: include/hw/ide/ > F: hw/ide/ > @@ -1809,7 +1809,7 @@ T: git https://github.com/cminyard/qemu.git master-ipmi-rebase > Floppy > M: John Snow > L: qemu-block@nongnu.org > -S: Supported > +S: Odd Fixes > F: hw/block/fdc.c > F: hw/block/fdc-internal.h > F: hw/block/fdc-isa.c > -- > 2.39.0 >
