Arch Linux User Repository

July 22nd, 2017 : changed PKGVER. Now it is release version.r-number of commits since last-release.git revision.

It is simpler to understand. For example, on july 22nd in 2017; we can see since 2.9.0 release, 2514 commits had been made.

@Icarus_Radio : this package is modular. Some parts are conflicting. Just build it and install which parts you want.

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: qemu-headless-git and qemu-git are in conflict

How to solve this problem?

Currently '!strip' option doesn't have an effect when added, due to the stripping stage in the upstream build system. Please consider this patch to save the next person some trouble:

I can send this to the Arch repo qemu package maintainer, if you would rather avoid forking from them any further.

"virtio

virtio-vga / virtio-gpu is a paravirtual 3D graphics driver based on virgl. Currently a work in progress, supporting only very recent (>= 4.4) Linux guests with mesa (>=11.2) compiled with the option --with-gallium-drivers=virgl.

To enable 3D acceleration on the guest system select this vga with -vga virtio and enable the opengl context in the display device with -display sdl,gl=on or -display gtk,gl=on for the sdl and gtk display output respectively."

Just try to look at this section in Archlinux wiki.

NB: HOW DO I GET NEWLINES IN COMMENTS? \n, \r\n or <br> don't work.

@FredBezies: since packages were built successfully, I installed them manually from /tmp/yaourt... and it worked.

After reboot I tried virgl in a knoppix live-iso (native window, not via vnc or spice), but it doesn't seem to work:

@linux2brain: or use an AUR wrapper which supports split packages.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers#Comparison_table

Just try a fully green line :)

@FredBezies: ...so manual install from sources directly ?

@linux2brain: just don't use any AUR wrapper which automatically install this split package like yaourt.

It will work better.

Hi, is it still not possible to just build qemu-git without qemu-headless-git being pulled in and install failing with the error message about conflicting each other? ::

Hi! Is it possible to only build qemu-headless-git and qemu-headless-arch-extra-git without having to install things like pulseaudio, sdl, vte, etc?
