Description Robert Schedel 2020-12-10 06:36:57 UTC

Thank you for providing qemu 5.2.0 ebuild very fast.

app-emulation/qemu-5.2.0 with use flag "pin-upstream-blobs" still pins sys-firmware/edk2-ovmf-201905. As described in the use flag description this pinning shall ensure that the precise version included by upstream release is installed locally -- different versions may lead to "random corruption".

But IMHO qemu-5.2.0 recently changed to edk2-ovmf-202008 (also existing as ebuild):

https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=tree;f=roms;hb=553032db17440f8de011390e5a1cfddd13751b0b

https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=history;f=roms;hb=553032db17440f8de011390e5a1cfddd13751b0b

Version bump was also reported in qemu 5.2 changelog.

Should qemu-5.20 reflect this for edk2-ovmf (and maybe other FW files), to avoid stability issues?

Reproducible: Didn't try

Would be needed to move on from bug #744412 when 5.2.0 is stable.

Yeah, that makes sense.
