xen-tools

I have inherited an ArchLinux Server, which has successfully running Xen on it.

I have no experience in ArchLinux at all and since every Xen-Tutorial is based on Debian Host Servers, I would be glad if someone could give me some good hints.

The Dom0 seems to be configured properly as this command indicates:

root@myArchLinuxXenHost:~# xl list
Name                                          ID   Mem VCPUs	State	Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0  1024    12     r-----     678.2
someGuest1                                8  1024     4     -b----     466.6
someGuest2                                9   512     1     -b----      68.8
someGuest3                               10  4096     2     -b----     750.9
someGuest4                               11  4096     2     -b----     464.5
someGuest5                               12  4096     2     -b----     629.8
someGuest6                               13  6144     1     -b----     185.9

Also all the services on those guest-Vms work and everyone is happy. (side note, not so important i guess: they all are Debian wheezy)

Lets cut to the chase, what I want is:

I want to create a new VM using those xen-tools.

Unfortunately the former Administrator did not install the Xen-Tools on the Archlinux Server and I suppose that there are some big caveats -at least for someone with no experience in Archlinux- in installing it on ArchLinux.

I read this official Xen-tools-wiki-guide, but there is no documentation on how to install them on ArchLinux.

Also I couldn't find xen-tools in the AUR.

So the only lead I got here seems to be building xen-tools fom source for my ArchLinux Server?

Has anyone ever done this or has another approach to installing them on ArchLinux?
