rpcgen doesn't seem to be in core/glibc any more, but apparently it's provided by extra/rpcsvc-proto. Perhaps that should be added as a dependency?

Good one. Thanks for providing the easy fix!

Fixed.

pacman now has a tmpfiles hook, so I think the systemd-tmpfiles invocation in the .install script is no longer necessary.

It was already removed in the community libvirt package back in 2016: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/diff/libvirt/trunk/libvirt.install?id=9a07ef3771d570995415fa1737548d84cc17cecb

According to the changelog (https://libvirt.org/news.html), python2 can be replaced with python(3).

The package has been updated, including the two fixes for the daemon (thanks @calzonealamuerte).

@okle100: I also had set the --with-numad flag, however this resulted in an error message while preparing (configure) the package:

"You must install numad package to manage CPU and memory placement dynamically"

My guess is that the NUMA option only works on NUMA enabled systems, which is just a limited amount of systems (Xeon, Opteron, etc). On the other hand, I believe this flag will be set automatically, if NUMA is detected. Please let me know if I am wrong, or if you have suggestions to make it work for everybody.

to "fix" this package, replace the following lines in PKGBUILD:

daemon/libvirtd.service.in \ --> src/remote/libvirtd.service.in \

sed -i 's/notify/simple/' daemon/libvirtd.service.in --> sed -i 's/notify/simple/' src/remote/libvirtd.service.in

Are there any downsides of enabling this flag?

From RedHat: "numad aims to achieve optimal performance in NUMA systems by placing processes in NUMA nodes automatically without requiring manual configuration."

If you have a multi-socket server motherboard then you're almost certainly using NUMA for memory addressing.

@okle100, what is the benefit of the numad service?

okle100 commented on 2017-03-30 10:59

can we add the --with-numad flag to the config options of this package, so libvirtd can utilize the numad.service
