Folks, Qemu 4 was released this week, is there a plan to start using this new version in kata containers? In the meantime, I have created a new branch in kata-container/qemu [1] to test this new version + kata patches. Only two patches were applied: 1. 9p optimizations. 2. vm-templating patch. Thanks - Julio Notes: * Memory footprint looks better [1] - https://github.com/kata-containers/qemu/tree/kata-qemu-4.0.0
Hi Julio, I think is sane to update to qemu 4 to keep parity with NEMU and simplify our testing with testing. We have to check how it works and what needs update: -CI Salvador already has PR to move to 3.0 that is looking to show any issue in the CI. -Packages I did a test to build qemu 4.0 with current scripts and most of errors are just mismatch of files that we list on the spec file. I sent PR to fix this The only blocker is Red Hat Stefan: I see that qemu build for rhel fails with: `glib-2.40 gthread-2.0 is required to compile QEMU` are you able to build qemu 4.0 with your rhel systems?

Stefan: I see that qemu build for rhel fails with: `glib-2.40 gthread-2.0 is required to compile QEMU` are you able to build qemu 4.0 with your rhel systems?
Can you share more detail on your RHEL system (which release?, CI logs?)? I have tested that QEMU 4.0 compiles on RHEL 7.6. RHEL 7.6 ships glib2-devel-2.56.1-2.el7.x86_64 so the error message you have seen should not occur on this distro release. Stefan
One more thing I think is better to take the patches to packaging instead of maintain the fork of qemu. Can I ask you to send the patches that we have to packaging as we do with the kernel? -----Original Message----- From: Montes, Julio [mailto:julio.montes@intel.com] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2019 3:41 PM To: kata-dev@lists.katacontainers.io Subject: [kata-dev] Qemu 4 Folks, Qemu 4 was released this week, is there a plan to start using this new version in kata containers?
