I don't think that it makes sense to put fixed version numbers into the git or wiki - the information will expire soon, and it is additional maintenance to keep them up to date. We already got the generic description here: https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Supported-build-platforms So you just have to follow these instructions to get to the supported versions. Thomas
