Update to v2.9

[luxas]

Hi, I'm a big fan of your QEMU builds, thank you!

Now that v2.9.0 was released this week, would you mind upgrading to the latest version?
Cheers!

Sure, we are waiting update a deb packages http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/.

@lafin, how about instead of debs, the rpms from openSUSE Tumbleweed are used. The rpm can be extracted using rpm2cpio. The builds are static anyhow so any package from any distro should do.

Do you have a link to the package so we can give a try?

Here is my container that was inspired by yours:
https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Build/tree/master/docker-containers/qemu-builder/register

You might also want to checkout this code that I use in my make files

 repo := http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/x86_64
      $(eval rpm_name := $(shell curl -s $(repo)/ --list-only | grep qemu-linux | sed -n s%".*>\(qemu-linux-.*rpm\)</a>.*"%"\1"%p | tail -1))
    curl -L $(repo)/$(rpm_name) -o /var/tmp/$(IMG_NAME)_$(ARCH)/qemu-linux-user.rpm
    @ if [[ $(ARCH) ==  "armv7l" ]]; then \
        rpm2cpio /var/tmp/$(IMG_NAME)_$(ARCH)/qemu-linux-user.rpm | cpio -D /var/tmp/$(IMG_NAME)_$(ARCH)/ -idmv "*qemu-arm" "*qemu-arm-*"; \
      fi
    @ if [[ $(ARCH) ==  "aarch64" ]]; then \
        rpm2cpio /var/tmp/$(IMG_NAME)_$(ARCH)/qemu-linux-user.rpm | cpio -D /var/tmp/$(IMG_NAME)_$(ARCH)/ -idmv "*qemu-aarch*"; \
      fi
    sed -i '/ENV/,/RUN/ {s/^$$/COPY usr \/usr/}' /var/tmp/$(IMG_NAME)_$(ARCH)/Dockerfile
    @ if [[ ! -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/arm || ! -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/aarch64 ]]; then \
        docker run --rm --privileged emby/qemu-builder:register; \
      fi

Hopefully the above give you enough code to proceed

Sorry just noticed it was still on 2.8, it is rolling release so it might be a bit faster at updating.

Thanks @lafin 👍

Hello,

It seems that this update to 2.9.0 can cause some issues :
==> those new builds aren't static anymore

Here is what I've tested:

flo@flopc:~$ wget -q https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static/releases/download/v2.8.4/qemu-aarch64-static -O - |file -
/dev/stdin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=91fb924228a0814f7ae7d13947cb1f13c02fa36f, stripped

flo@flopc:~$ wget -q https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static/releases/download/v2.9.0/qemu-aarch64 -O - |file -
/dev/stdin: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=48894fc6b031f7dfecf8ac90b6f420dd8d94b34f, stripped

And in https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static/releases/tag/v2.9.0, several files are named "-static" but are not :

• qemu-aarch64-static.tar.gz
• x86_64_qemu-aarch64-static.tar.gz

Those 2 contain the same binary than qemu-aarch64 (tested above).

The change (static -> dynamic) seems to come from this commit:
6226ce5

I believe that this repo should still provide static builds (as it did until 2.8.4).
For now, can we stick to debian (even if still on 2.8) ? Or try to use builds from another distrib (as suggested by hurricanehrndz) ?

Thanks !

It also seems that on Arch, the only static version of qemu-user is in the AUR.

Fedora does have a 2.9 version of qemu-user-static:

This is for rawhide but apparently f26 also has it.
