8.1.0rc0: configure from tar file fetches subprojects via git Description of problem: Executing configure from tar file fetches subprojects via git. Fetched subprojects are https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/dtc and https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/keycodemapdb ``` $ ./configure --disable-download Using './build' as the directory for build output ...

Do not use 'git archive' or GitHub download links to acquire QEMU source archives. Non-GIT builds are only supported with source archives linked from: https://www.qemu.org/download/#source ``` If I understand the error message correctly, the subprojects should be part of the tar. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Clang64 console 2. `pacman -Syu` 3. `pacman -S binutils mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-glib2 mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-ninja mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-pixman mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-python mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-python-sphinx mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-python-sphinx_rtd_theme` 4. `wget https://download.qemu.org/qemu-8.1.0-rc0.tar.xz` 5. `tar -xf qemu-8.1.0-rc0.tar.xz` 6. `cd qemu-8.1.0-rc0` 7. `./configure` or `./configure --disable-download`
