That file is generated during the build. rc4 compiles in my test on
Debian. Did you start your build from a fresh git clone?

No, I downloaded the release tarball from github.

I found that it has nothing to do with the release version, but the github
one is just not able to work...

So what github and qemu.org provide are totally different things?

The "tarballs" from github don't work and can't work, but
github provides no mechanism for the project to say "don't
create this page". You can complain to github about this
if you like.

You're best off starting with the project's own web
page: https://www.qemu.org/ -- we use github only as
a sort of backup git server in case our own is down.

I think you can edit the github's repo description to tell people not to
download release from this site.

I've updated the repo description.

  Official QEMU mirror. Please see
  http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch for how to submit changes
  to QEMU. Pull Requests are ignored. Please only use release tarballs
  from the QEMU website. http://www.qemu.org

I sent a patch that adds a sanity check to configure to try to catch this
mistake - it would also affect people who created tarballs with a plain
"git archive" command

Daniel

AFAICT github generates those tarballs automatically whenever it sees a
tag. But it's not the same as the official release tarballs.
