Yeah, the dfsg things are probably rebuilds, at least they don't seem to change the programs' actual function. We don't want 404 though so I'll handle it

evandeaubl commented on 2022-05-28 20:42 (UTC)

It looks like upstream packages are now +dfsg-7 instead of +dfsg-3, so the current PKGBUILD is failing. I've confirmed it on aarch64. It should be failing everywhere, but the _amd64 source link still works for some reason, even though pulling an index of https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/ , the _amd64 file is +dfsg-7 as well.

Assuming that the orphan notice is talking about qemu 6.2 and not 5.2, that's not available in the debian repos yet. I'll update when it is.

jpegxguy commented on 2021-03-03 21:53 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll look into it.

Please update the PKGBUILD to support missing architectures.

You currently have

arch=('x86_64' 'i686' 'aarch64')

This leaves out the Raspberry Pi 2 , the Raspberry Pi Zero and many other 32bit arm boards and chromebooks that run perfectly fine Arch Linux arm.

As you can see here on the place where you're pulling the deb's,
https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/ they are there, so there's no reason not to include them in this PKGBUILD.

ex: - Raspberry Pi zero is armel - Raspberry Pi 2 is armhf - etc

If you need help here are some references:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture

In Debian GNU/Linux, ...  armhf (ARM hard float) refers to the ARMv7

architecture ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi

https://www.debian.org/ports/arm/

... Debian fully supports three ports to different flavours of little-endian ARM hardware:

• (armel) 
• (armhf) port 
• (arm64) port

Hi ! Update needed pkgadditver="+dfsg-3". Thanks !

pmostert commented on 2020-12-18 15:52 (UTC)

thanks @Brocellous for your pointer, it saved me tons of time. yay -Suy upgraded qemu-user-static-bin (5-1-4 -> 5.2-1) after this the systemd-binfmt service just crashed with the "add binary format message.

Commenting the :qemu-ppc64abi32: line in /usr/lib/binfmt.d/qemu-static.conf put things back on track for me.

jpegxguy commented on 2020-12-17 13:08 (UTC) (edited on 2020-12-17 13:08 (UTC) by jpegxguy)

@Brocellous I'm using binfmt-qemu-static-all-arch and I don't see that line in /usr/lib/binfmt.d/qemu-static.conf provided by that package. Maybe this architecture isn't part of qemu-static anymore?

Brocellous commented on 2020-12-17 09:41 (UTC)

With 5.2 my systemd-binfmt fails with "Failed to add binary format: No such file or directory"

Copying the coonfig file to /etc/binfmt.d/qemu-static.conf and commenting out "qemu-ppc64abi32" format allows it to work for me. It has some kind of trouble loading that one.

JerryXiao commented on 2020-11-27 11:24 (UTC)

@jpegxguy me neither. I think It will be removed by admin soon. Also, I've added you to co-maintainers.

jpegxguy commented on 2020-11-27 10:19 (UTC)

Good to see you're active again and thanks! I don't think there's a way for me to remove the request.

This doesn't exist on the deb server https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/qemu-user-static_5.0-10_amd64.deb

To build I changed pkgadditver from 10 to 11 and it built perfectly https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/qemu_5.0-11_amd64.deb

esotericnonsense commented on 2020-07-03 10:43 (UTC)

emulti: sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt worked for me. Exec errors prior to running that, now I can chroot into an aarch64 rootfs.

emulti commented on 2020-06-25 11:05 (UTC) (edited on 2020-06-25 11:12 (UTC) by emulti)

Just a note that when installing this package for the first time, the binary format data installed by the binfmt-qemu-static package is passed to the kernel by the systemd-binfmt service which runs on boot. As far as I can tell it's not possible to trigger a run of the systemd-binfmt service without rebooting.

JerryXiao commented on 2020-04-29 00:27 (UTC) (edited on 2020-04-29 02:33 (UTC) by JerryXiao)

No checksum, and no https in download uri, very insecure. Better use https://deb.debian.org

Can you please set binfmt flags to OFC so setuid programs work?

--Why update to 3.1 when 4.1 is out?--

EDIT: You forgot to update .SRCINFO

JerryXiao commented on 2019-11-22 05:16 (UTC)

@Anexthesy Any update?

reynoldsbd commented on 2019-09-18 05:42 (UTC)

Getting a 404 while building. Looks like the .deb used here has been renamed to something different.

Also, 4.1 is now available :)

jpegxguy commented on 2019-09-04 19:53 (UTC)

Also, either change to CF flag (for setuid binaries in chroot) or leave the task to the binfmt-user-static packages

jpegxguy commented on 2019-03-28 16:22 (UTC) (edited on 2019-03-28 16:22 (UTC) by jpegxguy)

@dvdhrm aarch64 works as well now. Thanks!

dvdhrm commented on 2019-03-28 07:28 (UTC)

@jpegxguy I see, you use aarch64. I fixed the binfmt generator to work with the x86 versions as well. Please give it a try!

jpegxguy commented on 2019-03-22 16:34 (UTC) (edited on 2019-03-22 16:36 (UTC) by jpegxguy)

uname -srvmo is: Linux 5.0.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP Wed Mar 20 18:03:35 MDT 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I've found the problematic files: (Installed by this package in /usr/bin/binfmt.d)

qemu-i486-static.conf and qemu-x86_64-static.conf, which contain only the letter F and a newline (LF). systemd-binfmt complains that Rule file name '' is not valid, refusing. as can be seen in the journal
qemu-i386-static.conf, which contains what seems to be 2 rules stitched together? less output:

In my x86_64 pc, no errors, because those files aren't there in that case

dvdhrm commented on 2019-03-22 06:50 (UTC)

@jpegxguy You sure this is related to this package? I cannot reproduce it. Can you check which file exactly causes this to be triggered? The files systemd-binfmt reads are in {/usr/bin,/etc}/binfmt.d/.

jpegxguy commented on 2019-03-21 20:58 (UTC) (edited on 2019-03-21 20:59 (UTC) by jpegxguy)

journalctl has this to say when systemd-binfmt.service is (re)started:

dvdhrm commented on 2019-01-08 11:54 (UTC)

@polyzen I changed this now. I think I had to rename the source because the HTTP request supplied a generic name. Not sure. Regardless, it is now versioned according to the package version.

@mudkip908 Thanks! Should be fixed now. No idea why I forgot that. I assume the issue @polyzen mentioned might have caused me to miss this. Sorry!

polyzen commented on 2019-01-08 07:49 (UTC)

Please either do not rename the deb sources or at least include the pkgver or something so people don't have to delete the older sources when there's an upgrade.

mudkip908 commented on 2019-01-07 19:04 (UTC)

The checksum of the downloaded .deb file for x86_64 does not match. The actual checksum is b52b43a2519a97613ac4081e8eadb58300c890be710db19bf6e2607a7fac4948, while the PKGBUILD says it should be 27aff9179038f561cfdbf0726b5dfda5afb6ff938afa586d255160afce265375.

petronny commented on 2018-10-31 09:24 (UTC)

That's very helpful. Thanks!

dvdhrm commented on 2018-10-31 09:10 (UTC)

@petronny, it should be enabled by default. See systemctl status systemd-binfmt. I thought it picks up new entries automatically, but you might be required to run systemctl restart systemd-binfmt. A reboot is sufficient as well.

petronny commented on 2018-10-31 08:16 (UTC)

Thanks. But do I need to run systemd-binfmt manually? Or I just need to install binfmt-qemu-static and reboot?

dvdhrm commented on 2018-10-28 15:35 (UTC)

@petronny, systemd-binfmt is part of systemd and installed as /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-binfmt.

petronny commented on 2018-10-26 07:11 (UTC)

Hi, could you tell me where is systemd-binfmt?

darkgeek commented on 2018-08-30 18:37 (UTC) (edited on 2018-08-30 18:41 (UTC) by darkgeek)

Could you consider adding aarch64 support? I see this PKGBUILD builds only for i386 and x86_64 currently. With the following patch, it's possible to add aarch64 support: https://gist.github.com/darkgeek/8cae10ab9c2fc6234241e9fc69f6dc9f

coderobe commented on 2018-02-28 00:13 (UTC)

the optdep binfmt-support should probably be changed to binfmt-qemu-static, which uses the correct binfmt config syntax & integrates with systemd-binfmt just fine

blubbblubb commented on 2018-01-21 16:03 (UTC)

ah thanks, so it should probably be removed as an optional dependency?

TioDuke commented on 2017-06-14 11:14 (UTC)

@Synchronicity: Could you point me to the debian package you are refering to? I cannot find it. Thank you.

@ajs124: This package will be updated whenever Debian will release the new package. And as of renaming it to "-bin", feel free to do it in your _own_ system whenever you build it. It is a free world (at least it is here).

commented on 2017-06-14 10:46 (UTC)

Why is this not marked as "-bin" if it is in fact a binary package and not compiled from sources. Or rather, why is this a binary package in the first place?

Synchronicity commented on 2017-05-29 22:28 (UTC)

Detecting ppc binaries is broken. The magic and mask used for qemu-ppc in this package requires that the 8th byte of the ELF header (e_ident[EI_OSABI]) be 0x00. But sometimes it is different. It seems this was already addressed in the Debian package, which uses a mask of 0xfc instead of 0xff for that byte. Can the magics and masks for all the binfmts in this package be updated to match the Debian package?

adlerweb commented on 2017-04-25 20:14 (UTC)

Source is 404ed, current Debian package is http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/qemu-user-static_2.8+dfsg-4+b1_i386.deb

TioDuke commented on 2017-02-10 02:51 (UTC)

All you need to do is start/enable binfmt-support systemd service, which executes "/usr/bin/update-binfmts --enable", and you are all set up. The "update-binfmts --importdir /usr/share/binfmts/ --import" command is for converting from the format normally under /usr/share/binfmts/ to the "right" format which goes under /usr/lib/binfmts. Enjoy!

SandAngel commented on 2017-02-10 01:58 (UTC)

same problem here. When I run #update-binfmts --importdir /var/lib/binfmts/ --import, it showed the errors like @jhlink has posted.

TioDuke commented on 2017-02-09 02:09 (UTC)

@jhlink I really don't know what you are talking about. If you check the systemd service file in binfmt-support, it issues the following command on start: /usr/bin/update-binfmts --enable I have just run it myself and I've got no warnings and when I do a "ls /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc" I am able to see all the architectures registered there. What is the command that you are using?

I finally created a script that will (hopefully) tell me whenever a new version is available, so updates should be coming sooner from now on. That been said, I still count on your help to give me a heads up if an update is available and the package is not updated (the script could be wrong or debian changed its naming scheme). Thank you.

This package should have the -bin suffix. It's just unpacking a .deb, not actually building anything.

Looks like new/updated version, if I understand their numbering scheme correctly.

TioDuke commented on 2015-10-24 09:49 (UTC)

Package has been updated to latest debian I really appreciate when you comment or flag the package out-of-date, so that I can update it properly. What I won't tolerate, is people complaining that the package is bad maintained: if you need to build it in a hurry and you can't wait for me to update, then modify it yourself before doing a makepkg (and if you are using an aur helper, bad luck; you need to undertand that makepkg is the supported Arch way).

This package currently can't be built because the file on the Debian mirror specified in the PKGBUILD is no longer present; it needs to be changed to "qemu-user-static_2.4+dfsg-3_amd64.deb".

Hmm, I actually was getting this same error about the "package" line not being found right up until yesterday. I updated the binfmts-support package (there was no version change for it, but my AUR helper seemed to think it wanted an upgrade). After that, it started working with the modified change in this qemu-user-static PKGBUILD. Perhaps that needs an update or something. I don't know why it started working either (I didn't change the qemu-user-static package in any way, and I am using the new format).

Sorry, I'm trying to compile yaourt, with makepkg and i'm not reaching it

DiegoAscanio commented on 2015-06-30 23:14 (UTC)

vinadoros, what you proposed does not works with update-binfmt, at least at the most recent version of qemu-user-static package, on debian repo. when I tried to: #update-binfmt --importdir /var/lib/binfmts --import a warning came up saying that the required 'package' line was not found and update-binfmt exited dues to previous errors I got it working with the old lines in PKGBUILD and using version 6a from debian repository. Now I'm trying to cross compile makepkg, but it keeps stalling and seg faulting. Sorry for the poor english.

vinadoros commented on 2015-06-27 17:46 (UTC)

Actually the link to qemu-user-static_2.3+dfsg-5 is also out of date (is now 6a). These lines should work in place of the existing lines: _debsrc=${pkgname}_${pkgver}+dfsg-6a_${_arch}.deb source=(http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/${_debsrc}) sha1sums=('aab940002044c9543a8aaf4502622b03fd06e153') [ "$CARCH" = 'i686' ] && sha1sums=('51eaaca22d6ccf969623453190cffa62c79de480')

vinadoros commented on 2015-06-22 15:26 (UTC)

Hmm, the binary translation (in /var/lib/binfmts) doesn't seem to work properly when using update-binfmts. I think I know why. It seems the format of the files in /var/lib/binfmts have changed in the debian packages, and this has not been updated in this PKGBUILD. The solution I have tested is to replace these lines in the PKGBUILD: for fmt in $fmts ; do eval "magic=\"\$${fmt}_magic\" mask=\"\$${fmt}_mask\"" cat >> "${pkgdir}/var/lib/binfmts/qemu-$fmt" << EOF package qemu-user-static interpreter /usr/bin/qemu-$fmt-static credentials yes offset 0 magic $magic mask $mask EOF done } With these lines: for fmt in $fmts ; do eval "magic=\"\$${fmt}_magic\" mask=\"\$${fmt}_mask\"" cat >> "${pkgdir}/var/lib/binfmts/qemu-$fmt" << EOF qemu-user-static magic 0 $magic $mask /usr/bin/qemu-$fmt-static yes EOF done } I have tested this PKGBUILD with the qemu-arm binary translation (by chrooting into a debain armhf chroot), and it seems to now be working. Here is a pastebin for the full working PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/d9swBvqr Can we get an update to this pkg? I have flagged it out of date to get some attention. Thanks.

Thank you tycho. I tried (ab)using update-binfmts to no avail. Then, I took your script (with little modifications). I am satisfied with doing it this way (there shouldn't be much of a high-maintenance as these magic/mask string don't change much, or ever).

tycho commented on 2014-08-18 10:58 (UTC)

Here's what I came up with. It's a bit high-maintenance for my liking, but it should work... http://git.uplinklabs.net/snoonan/projects/archlinux/ec2/ec2-packages.git/tree/qemu-user-static/PKGBUILD?id=3bece4db7ef0e3bbdc3c4258545291227c2b1c83

tycho commented on 2014-08-18 09:48 (UTC)

Or more accurately, it abuses update-binfmts. There will need to be some hackery to mutate the postinst into something useful.

tycho commented on 2014-08-18 09:45 (UTC)

See the 'postinst' script in the control tarball. It generates the binfmts.

TioDuke commented on 2014-08-08 22:18 (UTC)

I have tried to update the package to version 2.1, but unfortunately there is no trace of the binfmt files. Until I found a solution, I am not planning to update the package. @pngochai: If you know where to find the binfmt files, feel free to point me in the right direction. I have already searched inside most of the qemu-* packages from Debian (including qemu-binfmt), to no avail.
