2018-11-12README: use 'https://' instead of 'git://'Stefan Hajnoczi
When you clone the repository without previous commit history, 'git://' doesn't protect from man-in-the-middle attacks. HTTPS is more secure since the client verifies the server certificate.

2017-11-21Use HTTPS for qemu.org and other domainsStefan Hajnoczi
qemu.org enabled HTTPS in 2017 and it should be used instead of HTTP. There are also URLs to json.org, openvpn.net, and other domains that support HTTPS. This patch updates the qemu.org domains everywhere and also third-party domains that I have checked.

2017-11-21Use qemu.org domain nameStefan Hajnoczi
The owner of qemu.org has delegated authority to modify DNS records to the QEMU Project. This has allowed us to use the domain name without worries about IP address changes or technical issues disrupting service. The issues described in commit 859389810910f232188675d2f10b15f1aad77660 ("Use qemu-project.org domain name") have therefore been mitigated. This patch switches back to consistently using qemu.org instead of qemu-project.org in documentation, version.rc, and the Windows installer script. The git submodules and SeaBIOS still use qemu-project.org for the time being. This will be fixed in the QEMU 2.12 release cycle.

Move the README file to markdown so that it makes the github page look prettier. I know that github repo is a mirror and not the official repo, but I think it doesn't hurt to have it in markdown format.

2015-10-13README: fill out some useful quickstart informationDaniel P. Berrange
The README file is usually the first thing consulted when a user or developer obtains a copy of the QEMU source. The current QEMU README is lacking immediately useful information and so not very friendly for first time encounters. It either redirects users to qemu-doc.html (which does not exist until they've actually compiled QEMU), or the website (which assumes the user has convenient internet access at time of reading). This fills out the README file as simple quick-start guide on the topics of building source, submitting patches, licensing and how to contact the QEMU community. It does not intend to be comprehensive, instead referring people to an appropriate web page to obtain more detailed information. The intent is to give users quick guidance to get them going in the right direction. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2013-10-11Use qemu-project.org domain nameStefan Hajnoczi
qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has access to the DNS configuration. This leaves the website exposed to outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes. For example, if the web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will point to it! The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori <anthony@codemonkey.ws>. You can confirm this by querying the whois information. Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already references qemu-project.org. Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet. Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org. Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes. The following commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are using the latest URLs: $ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes $ rm -rf .git/modules # also clear cached .git/ directories $ git submodule update --init Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-id: 1381495958-8306-1-git-send-email-stefanha@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@amazon.com>
