## README

# qemu-alpine

QEMU from source on Alpine Linux in a Docker container.

## Build

1. Update `Dockerfile` with latest QEMU and Alpine versions:

    [Latest QEMU versions](https://github.com/qemu/qemu/releases).
    [Latest Alpine Linux versions](https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/).

    For example:
    ```
    FROM alpine:3.4
    ENV ALPINE_VERSION=3.4 QEMU_VERSION=2.7.0

    ENV VERSION=${QEMU_VERSION}-${ALPINE_VERSION}
    ...
    ```

2. Update/generate any patches needed in `patches/${VERSION}` and configure them in `Dockerfile` to be applied.

    For example:
    ```
    ...
    COPY patches/${VERSION}/* /qemu-patches/
    ENV PATCHES="fcntl.patch sigevent.patch sigrtmin.patch configure.patch"
    ...
    ```

3. Given `${VERSION}` being current QEMU-Alpine version, build new image:

    ```
    $ docker build -t qemu-alpine:${VERSION}-1 .
    ```

## Releases

[Current releases](https://github.com/tristanls/qemu-alpine/releases).

### Policy

This repository uses `QEMU_VERSION-ALPINE_VERSION-BUILD_NUMBER` version numbering scheme. `BUILD_NUMBER` is incremented every time a new release for the same `QEMU_VERSION-ALPINE_VERSION` combination is created.
