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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714750 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.
