Jun 1, 2026June 2026 monthly summary for haikuports/haikuports focused on advancing virtualization capabilities for Haiku OS through NVMM support in QEMU. Implemented patches to enable native virtualization with build-time detection and graceful fallback when NVMM is unavailable, aligning with Haiku nightly builds and Meson-based configuration. This work lays the groundwork for improved performance isolation and testability on HaikuOS within HaikuPorts. The change is captured in commit 894d5c4475c5c1dd44080b58058ee9ed7c83a617 (qemu: Add patches for NVMM support).

Aug 1, 20252025-08 monthly summary focusing on delivering cross-architecture capability and build stability for haikuports/haikuports. Implemented RISCV64 build support by switching to a RISCV64-compatible liblayout source and updating revisions. Stabilized builds by marking GCC as broken on RISCV64 and excluding RISCV64 from supported architectures. Managed libxml2 ABI compatibility by disabling 2.14 (and adjusting fontconfig) and simplified xmlto build by removing WebPositive dependency. These changes reduce risk, improve compatibility, and lay groundwork for future RISCV64 enablement.
