I'm working on upstreaming support for hexagon system emulation and it'd be

To that end, I think the initial step in the process is to mirror the repo in
the qemu-project? https://github.com/qualcomm/hexagon-hypervisor/ is where the
code is hosted now. And once that is done I suppose I would add QEMU patches
to add the build process and build output into roms/. Can one of you do that
mirror step or suggest how I can do it?
Hi Brian,
I have created a mirror of the stable branch here:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/hexagon-hypervisor
Please take a look and let me know if you need any changes.
Excellent, thanks!
I have a feeling that the 'stable' branch of this repo was a 'good
intention' that does not have a process by which it gets updated. I've
asked the maintainers if they plan to keep this branch active or prune
it. And I'll ask if they can generate a tag/release that we could use
as a basis.
What's the process by which we update our fork? It has an automated
mirror process driven by gitlab? What if we need changes that
can't/won't be upstreamed - can we make those locally? I don't yet have
any plans to make local changes, just want to understand how the process
works.
Thanks,
Stefan
