Hi! It so happened that current schedule for debian and qemu clashes with each other in a fun way. 2025-04-15 is the date planned for qemu 10.0 release (if no rc4 is needed), and is it the date of debian 13.0 trixe freeze.
Can we move the qemu release date a little bit earlier, so I'll have a chance to upload qemu 10.0 to debian trixie? The "prob" here is the removal of 64-on-32 architectures in 10.0, which is definitely a good change, but in debian it is a bit more challenging since others expect all qemu emulators are freely available on every architecture, and there might be some issues in this area on the debian side. I'm trying to reflect this removal now with 9.2 packages, to have more time when 10.0 is released. At the same time, due to code simplification after 64-on-32 removal, further fixes will be difficult to back-port to releases before 10.0, so I'd rather avoid supporting such a release in debian for long (2+ years). It'd be really nice if we release 10.0 a week earlier :) Thanks, /mjt
