Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-emulation mail=
ing
list <emulation@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 243906: emulators/qemu-user-static: update to 3.1 (+ deprecate qemu-sbr=
uno)
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D243906



--- Description ---
The main feature of the update to 3.1 is RISC-V support, contributed by
Embecosm.

Note that this is going to be enacted by removing the current
emulators/qemu-user-static and repocopying qemu-user-static-devel over.
qemu-user-static-devel itself is a repocopy of qemu-sbruno with the qemu-sy=
stem
bits removed. qemu-user-static doesn't have much interesting history attach=
ed
to it as a slave port of qemu-sbruno, so it feels more appropriate this way.

In a separate commit, but in this same patch, we intend to deprecate
qemu-sbruno. The system bits from our branch should match upstream pretty
closely, and the versions should be converging going into the future as we'=
ll
continue to rebase user-static towards modern day qemu. I've tentatively put
the date five months out, but I'm not convinced it matters if it's sooner or
later -- there shouldn't really be many, if any, users of it.
