Building from source including Xen

[t3sserakt]

Hi *,

I like to build Qubes from source. For that I found this documentation

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-builder/

I also like to build Xen from source. From the Qubes install
documentation

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/installation-guide/

it reads like the Qubes installer downloads Xen.

What do I need to do, that the installer is using my own Xen build?

Thanks in advance

It downloads (and verifies) the sources.

Nothing, just use qubes-builder as documented. Qubes carries a couple
local patches to Xen, so it is already built from source by necessity.
