All current ebuilds for both app-emulation/xen and app-emulation/xen-tools provide no way to build and install the stubdom components from the Xen project, which means that anyone who wants to use stub domains on Gentoo has to do a lot of work to do so. It would be nice to either have a USE flag or a separate ebuild to install them through portage.
hey, patches are welcome ;-)
(In reply to Yixun Lan from comment #1) > hey, patches are welcome ;-) It's on my todo list, although only after #556044, as that one essentially makes my main testing system useless for Xen.
I made one years ago. It's in the virtualization overlay xen-stubdom-4.2.2.ebuild So it will need updating to the current 4.5

I've not had a chance to actually test it yet (I don't have consistently reliable access to a working non-production Xen system to test it properly on, although that will hopefully be remedied in the near future).
Created attachment 488484 [details] xen-stubdom-dm-4.8.1.ebuild: ebuild to install the xen stubdom components #446241 is related but it never seemed to make the main portage repo from the overlay. Here is an ebuild based on xen-pvgrub-4.8.1. You need to copy the files directory and make appropriate renames.
