I have tried doing so myself, but ran into several issues; after working around them one by one, I eventually realized that the machine I was using is not KVM-capable and thus the resulting file would be close to useless. The idea of locating an s390x machine that doesn't suffer from that limitation and repeating the entire process from scratch is obviously not sounding very appealing right now! Assuming you have access to KVM-capable hardware that is running a recent OS, the process of generating these files is relatively straightforward: * build QEMU from git (v5.2.0 tag) * build libvirt from git (master branch) * from inside libvirt's build directory, run $ ./tests/qemucapsprobe \ ~/path/to/your/qemu-system-s390x \ * after the .replies file has been generated, it's just a matter of running $ VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT=1 meson test a few times, let's say 3-5, until it passes. If it still fails after 5 iterations, then there's some issue that we need to look into, but I don't expect that will be the case I'd really appreciate if either one of you could go through this process and post the resulting patch! Note that, since the diff is going to be massive, it's standard practice for this kind of update to only send a heavily snipped version to the mailing list, and push the full version to some publicly-accessible repository.
