[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1714750] Re: 2.10.0 cannot be installed on case-insensitive file system

[Peter Maydell]

Yes, it's awkward for users who are on OSX (or Windows, I assume). But
the 2.10.0 release is already out and we can't change it -- if this bug
had been reported for one of the 2.10.x release candidates it would
maybe have been a release blocker. As it is we have to wait for a 2.10.1
release (and we need to actually fix the problem, preferably by getting
u-boot upstream to do so).

Thanks for putting the workaround into the homebrew packaging in the
meantime.

Title:
  2.10.0 cannot be installed on case-insensitive file system

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  The https://download.qemu.org/qemu-2.10.0.tar.bz2 tarball cannot be
  unpacked on a case-insensitive file system because it has a file
  qemu-2.10.0/roms/u-boot/scripts/Kconfig and a directory
  qemu-2.10.0/roms/u-boot/scripts/kconfig. This prevents installation on
  most macOS systems since by default the file system is case
  insensitive. The 2.10.0 upgrade is blocked in Homebrew due to this
  issue. See https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/17467. This
  is a regression from 2.9.0, which didn't have this problem.
