Thanks James, unfortunately its the build-dependency on edk2/ovmf which
prevents me from picking this right now (ovmf is multiverse and at least xen
source is main).
And really sorry Fantu, this cycle I had no time at all to do realistic
improvements to the packaging at all. The only thing I am
I have built the xen sources from wily with the following patch to
enable HVM guest UEFI support:

Hi Fantu, sorry for the delay but I was busy with other things. And I
cannot promise how quickly I can look into your improvements. In the end
I would prefer to have things the same in Debian and Ubuntu but
unfortunately this might be difficult. So it might happen that we have

Seabios package from version 1.7.5-1 removes the xen support in 128k build,

I did some small improments:
* Build with distro's seabios with xen configure instead patch.
* Use seabios 256k build instead the 128k one, because in the 128k the
xen support will be disabled in future.
* Use distro's upstream qemu with xen configure instead patches.
* Removed patches
I can not find the updated repository of packages xen in ubuntu.
Someone is making improvements?
If not, if I have enough time I start to make some public and patches.
Thanks for any reply.

Recently on xen 4.5 staging git were added some tool's flags patches, I do not
have time to check the ubuntu patches but in the TODO for 4.5 maybe you should
also mark to check about them that perhaps other ubuntu patches can be removed.
Same thing also about a patch serie for tools prefix:

So we talk about different sides. Debian has not, yet packaged up Xen-4.4
(there was a post to Debian today asking how we can change that), I did package
Xen-4.4 for Ubuntu Trusty (14.04). That does a lot of the things you were
suggesting. Maybe not all in a way that will be ok with Debian. I wi
I saw now the test I did with qemu from debian packages and I always use
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64, since xen not use emulated cpu _64 or not
should not be different but probably is different for spice-server that
if I remember good have problem on 32 bit.

Sorry for my bad english.
I not understand if you mean right.
About seabios, upstream qemu and ovmf from distro package I mean simply for
example:
for seabios ./configure ... --with-system-seabios=/usr/share/seabios/bios.bin
and remove tools-firmware-seabios-packaged patch.
About ovmf is better n
qemu-system-x86 is on the recommends list which will pull in upstream qemu.
Right now the build of Xen modifies the source in a way to look for
qemu-system-i386 on the path provided by qemu. This also causes seabios to be
used. ovmf would need testing. Ovmf was not really looked at. So for the n
Ah... I think that probably is also good put qemu-system-x86 as dipendency
since is default for "disks on file" also on pv domUs.
Is used also for vnc (and spice basic support if my patch will be accepted on
xen 4.5) on pv domUs.
Then using the 4.4 xl seem to me a few cases where it is not used,
Thanks for your reply.
I not tried xen trusty package for now but only a fast watch on debian folder
of packages source.
seabios and upstream qemu is not specified on configure for what I saw
(./configure --enable-xend --prefix=/usr) and I think should be done to have
seabios and upstream qemu w
Supporting flexible locations of qemu and alternate location for the
ovmf BIOS would allow to get rid of patches. So sounds useful. Note that
the 14.04 (Trusty) release of Ubuntu (as well as the 13.10 (Saucy)
release) were not using the Xen version of qemu for xl but the generic
upstream qemu (comp
