On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the first release candidate for the QEMU 2.0 release. This release is meant for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.
I've run into an issue with the SeaBIOS submodule included in the QEMU tarball: The SeaBIOS scripts/buildversion.sh script looks for a .git directory or file and, if absent, goes on to look for a .version file, neither of which the QEMU tarball ships. That means it will fall back to "?" as version, whereas the binary blob contributed by Gerd displays "rel-1.7.4-0-g96917a8".
I build them from a git checkout, where it works as .git is present.
Should our tarball workflow include generating a roms/seabios/.version file based on git-describe in that directory to fix this mismatch?
Makes sense.
cheers, Gerd
