We really need to update SeaBIOS whenever there is a bug that we know requires an update. Things breakdown because of one or more of the following reasons:
- User submits a patch to seabios@, Kevin applies it. But that
doesn't necessarily trigger anything happening in QEMU.
Ideally, the above mentioned user would submit a submodule update once (1) happens.
- Kevin fixes something on his own or someone else changes
something in the broader SeaBIOS community. That may not even be visible in QEMU.
There is another complexity here - it's not always clear to me when a group pulls a particular revision of SeaBIOS. So, knowing who to notify is harder.
Why not just pull recent Seabios into QEMU weekly (or as fast as Seabios HEAD moves). Before going into qemu rc stage ask Seabios for formal release.
