[Pkg-xen-devel] Xen 4.10 for Debian unstable

[John Keates]

Hi Hans,

First of all, thanks for the great work! I was wondering about a patch I tried to send in a while ago which enables OVMF. It’s a single line in the rules setup and doesn’t have any build-time or run-time dependencies until you actually change a domU configuration to use OVMF.

Currently I just rebuild all packages locally and add the line to debian/rules.real:

 --enable-ovmf --with-system-ovmf=/usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd 

Is this something that could be added to 4.10?

Regards,
John
