Hi,
This pull updates seabios in qemu to the latest bits from seabios master, so the upcoming 1.2 qemu release gets all the new shiny stuff added recently. I'd like to have a new seabios release for inclusion into qemu 1.2 which is planned for September 1st.
So how about this plan:
- merge seabios snapshot now (this pull req), so it gets testing in the qemu testing & release candidates phase
- put seabios into bugfixing freeze too (now or in a few days), fix any issues poping up in testing.
- roll out seabios release by end of august, so it can be included into qemu 1.2
We really would need a SeaBIOS release by no later than August 21st to do this. The 1.2 release is on September 1st but we're in hard freeze starting on August 15th. I wouldn't want to make any changes later than the 21st.
I'm fine with tagging a release. However, I think testing coverage is the biggest concern. If you want to do this, I suggest we pull the current SeaBIOS snapshot now (as Gerd's plan calls for), and I'll immediately start a bugfix only mode.
