Similarly +to how the recipe for busybox works, you can provide a .config as a defconfig +to override the default configuration of the hypervisor. The easiest way +for you to take advantage of this is to create a .config for Xen and then +copy it to your Yocto layer as 'defconfig' inside of +'recipes-extended/xen/files/' and then create a bbappend adding +'file://defconfig' to your SRC_URI. + +security patches +---------------- + +The base recipe does not include security fixes that the Xen community releases +as XSAs (http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/). The easiest way to include those is to +drop patches in 'recipes-extened/xen/files' and create a bbappend adding those +patches to SRC_URI and they will be applied. Alternatively, you can override +the SRC_URI to a git repo you provide that contains the patches. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
