Hi John, I don't think this will ever hit 4.8 in stable, but I want to have this in the new 4.10+ packages for unstable because you've been waiting long enough now.
Thanks for sending the Merge Request about this. Now the change will go in under your name. :) I don't think that a discussion in gitlab on some commit that got rebased later is the best way, so let's continue here. I know --enable-ovmf builds ok, now I need instructions to test this. I suspect you're on 4.8 and unless you have a spare test system already you might not want to be running random experimental test builds for 4.10. It also needs rebuilt qemu packages against xen 4.10. So, what is the minimal set of things I can do to make sure the resulting build does something sensible? I have to be honest I'm not a qemu user myself, so I might not be totally familiar with all steps. I see https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/OVMF which has an example, which also mentions use of a live CD. Can you point me so something I can provide as a disk, and tell me if this is the right path to a minimal test to check that everything is working right? Thanks, Hans
