[Qemu-devel] Moving seabios-hppa git submodule to use a qemu.org mirror

[Qemu-devel] Moving seabios-hppa git submodule to use a qemu.org mirror

[Peter Maydell]

I just noticed that we seem to have acquired another git
submodule that isn't pointing to a qemu.org git url:

[submodule "roms/seabios-hppa"]
        path = roms/seabios-hppa
        url = git://github.com/hdeller/seabios-hppa.git

Jeff, could we set up so we can mirror this repo on qemu.org?
Then we can send a patch to update the .gitmodules to point to it.

(There's also a patchset on list that wants to add a
submodule for git://github.com/zbalaton/u-boot-sam460ex
but I don't know if that will go in or not yet. Should
we insist that we set up the mirror first for new
submodules, or allow them in and fix things up after?
By default we're doing the latter at the moment; the
former seems cleaner but makes it more painful for
contributors to get things added which need new
submodules.)

And there's also

[submodule "roms/qemu-palcode"]
         path = roms/qemu-palcode
         url = git://github.com/rth7680/qemu-palcode.git

if that matters.

I think the patches that add the board are queued in the PPC tree and may 
be in next pull request (unless they have to be dropped for some reason) 
so it would be nice if this firmware could go in with that as well for the 
board to be usable without getting the firmware binary separately.

I don't mind either way and don't expect to change this u-boot source too 
much in the future so if you just copy it to the qemu repo without 
mirroring my repo that's fine as well. (If any change will be needed I can 
submit patches for it like for other QEMU parts but this should not be 
needed too frequently as this firmware is not developed any further by 
upstream so only changes may be bugfixes from QEMU contributors.) But I 
can't do that myself so I need help with that. All I could do is to 
provide my own repo and refer to that for all else I need your help.

Thank you,

That already exists at https://github.com/qemu/qemu-palcode, it's just
not pointed to by .gitmodules.

Out of curiosity, why is it not upstream?

See this thread:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-02/msg05221.html
(and those that it refers to; this seems to be everyone's first question, 
maybe I should add a FAQ in the commit message :-) )

I don't know the details but I guess the hardware vendor who created this 
fork never bothered to upstream their changes and then u-boot has changed 
so it's now not even simple to do so any more so this u-boot variant is at 
a dead end and only needed for this board because guests running on it 
(some of which are closed source thus cannot be changed) use the services 
provided by this u-boot version.

This is a fork of SeaBIOS, perhaps we should add "branch = hppa" and
pull it into the existing SeaBIOS repo of qemu.git.

However, I am worried that any bugfixes are never going to be applied to
the HPPA version.  How much forked is the fork?

Yes, of course... Although Paolo has suggested making it a branch of the
existing SeaBIOS repo instead.  But I can go ahead and get the clone setup,
in case we go that route.

My thought: while not as clean, I think it makes sense in general to allow a
patchset in first, and then switch it over later.  If we require a mirror on
qemu.org first, then we could end up creating mirrors that are never used,
if patches are rejected for some other reason and the submodule goes unused.
By doing the mirror later, the patchset goes through normal review and the
submodule is committed, and so we know for sure at that point we want the
mirror.

Hi; can we get the mirror set up for seabios-hppa, and also for
the other new repo:
 git://github.com/zbalaton/u-boot-sam460ex

please?

(I've just sent a patch which moves the qemu-palcode module
to the already-existing mirror.)

I'd suggest to move the u-boot-sam460ex repo to qemu repo completely 
instead of mirrorring it. I don't intend to change it in the future (apart 
from maybe occasional bugfixes if needed which chould be submitted as 
patches) so no need to keep an external repo and mirror it when it could 
be held in qemu as primary.

Please let me know how you decide, I can then remove the the above repo 
and refer to the qemu one in the future if you move it there or keep the 
current one up if you choose to mirror it.

BALATON Zoltan

I went ahead and created it as a mirror.  If there is consensus on moving it
to qemu.org as a primary host, I can convert it (and I'll need to set you up
an account on qemu.org as well at that point, for those occasional
bugfixes).

For now, keep your repo up as a primary source until we know if we are
moving it to qemu.org rather than just mirroring it.

No need for an account as I can submit changes if needed as patches (as I 
do with other changes to qemu) and then whoever has access to that repo 
can commit it. As I've said there's no further development on this u-boot 
branch so only changes expected are bugfixes if it's ever found to be 
needed. Otherwise this repo should be really static.

I'm OK with that as well, I'll keep the repo on github until you tell me 
it's not needed any more. Thank you.

Hi,

Both of these mirrors have been created, and are set to automatically
refresh like the other mirrors on qemu.org:

git://git.qemu.org/u-boot-sam460ex.git
https://git.qemu.org/git/u-boot-sam460ex.git


git://git.qemu.org/seabios-hppa.git
https://git.qemu.org/git/seabios-hppa.git


Let me know if there are any issues.


Paolo or Stefan,

If you create the repos for each of these under the qemu user on github,
I'll also enable pushing of these two mirrors to github (like we do with
other mirrors).

Thanks.  I am able to push u-boot-sam460ex to github just fine now, but I
get a permission error when trying to do the same for seabios-hppa:

  ERROR: Permission to qemu/seabios-hppa.git denied to qemu-deploy
