Unfortunately, it identifies itself as 1.0 development:

   $ git show v0.15.0-rc1:VERSION | cat
   0.15.51

A subsequent make makes it through, so it appears to be a missing

Hrm, somehow an extra commit made it to the stable branch.  I assumed it 
came through a merge and confused myself with the numbering.

Justin, I pushed a commit to set the version to 0.14.92, please sync up 
with the stable branch of qemu.git.

Thanks for catching this!

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

We're missing:

88ca9f047bf8df20ae0a6305d99cbad1e893777f
Author: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Tue Jul 26 11:39:24 2011 -0500

     Makefile: add missing deps on $(GENERATED_HEADERS)

     This fixes a build issue with make -j6+ due to qapi-generated files
     being built before $(GENERATED_HEADERS) have been created.

In stable.  I'll cherry pick and make sure it's in -rc2.

Hi Lucas,
Is QEMU 0.15.0-rc1 being run through KVM-Autotest?

We always test git master HEAD, so, no. I can look at testing specific 
tags or branches to help with that. The release branch/tag testing was 
just not on my radar so far.

So, I didn't take a closer look, but I assume the release work is made 
through a release branch or something?

I tested qemu-kvm-0.15.0-rc1 before releasing it, with my limited test set.

I also run kvm-autotest through qemu before releases (albeit with a 
limited config file).

That's great to hear, esp. as qemu-kvm is being wound down.

Yes, stable-0.15 is the branch.  Anthony release v0.15.0-rcX tags from it.

Lucas, if you have the resources to run the regular KVM-Autotest test
set on QEMU release candidates then maybe Anthony can CC you on
release emails?
