I pushed a branch 'qemu' to salsa which creates a u-boot-qemu package with the images for the architectures that are actually in debian: qemu-x86_64 qemu-x86 qemu_arm qemu_arm64 qemu_mips qemu_mipsel qemu_mips64el Inspired by other qemu bootloaders (like edk2, openbios, ...), I created this as an arch all package, which is built using the cross compilers available in the archive. This caused some changes in the build of the package. I would be interested to get your feedback on this. Do you think this is an acceptable way forward? The existing u-boot packages contain a build of qemu-mips. The transition to the new u-boot-qemu package still needs to be done. > I would want to have a documented way of what it actually takes to use > them, upstream and/or in README.Debian.
