Please Note: Per best-practices by upstream this package follows the git stable branch. Minor releases do not require a version bump and the PKGBUILD will provide the appropriate version number.

stubdom is still broken.

stubdom hasn't built since May, so I'm update AUR to uninclude it. Still working the problem. This represents xen-minimal in my personal PKGBUILD repo, keep an eye out for an updated Xen.

python-setuptools is missing from the depencies.

otherwise built without problems in a clean arch chroot

As of now (2024-22-05) Xen with stubdom doesn't build because of a problem in the imported code. Been this way for about two weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Also, there is a lot of work happening on Xen in my development repo, thanks to @Serus. Check it out at: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

FYI I plan on moving parts of xen to [extra] soon. Not all functionality of this AUR package will be retained, and you will likely have to e.g. have stubdom parts as their own AUR package xen-stubdom or similar

@Refutationalist

We need to change the file 'add-stubdom-fuxes.patch' to contain a new line, so it looks like this:

diff -Naur orig.xen-4.16.1/stubdom/Makefile xen-4.16.1/stubdom/Makefile

Most recent change removes OCaml, as it was supposed to be doing that anyway. Building issues are gone.

For those of you facing the issue below:

xentoollog_stubs.c: In function ‘stub_xtl_ocaml_vmessage’: xentoollog_stubs.c:36:1: error: ‘caml_local_roots’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘caml_local_roots_ptr’? 36 | caml_local_roots = caml__frame; \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One workaround is to add the option '--disable-ocamltools' to the './configure' command line in the 'build' function inside PKGBUILD.

I experience a same problem like manueljben posted here. During installation I get the same error. I tried older Xen version and I got the same error. I tried to change caml_local_roots to caml_local_roots_ptr, didn't work out.
