Version 1.2.9-9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear maintainer,
Libvirt packages for armhf and arm64 architectures are built without
Xen support. However, Xen is now available for these architectures.
Here is a patch to enable its support for these architectures.
I cross built the modified packages for armhf and arm64 using
cowbuilder with qemu-debootstrap and it seems to work properly on my
Cubietruck using Jessie and U-Boot from Stretch (to enable HYP mode).
Unfortunately, I don't have an arm64 device and so couldn't test the
modified packages for this architecture.
Feel free to ask me if you need more informations.
Regards
Yann
