We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:

  • stubdom is fixed by disabling the vtmp and vtpmmgr components. This gets rid of a few source files and our remaining patches.
  • Debug files are only removed if the debug option is not set in makepkg.cfg (or the PKGBUILD itself)
  • pygrub has been removed
  • optdepends are adjusted for the upcoming xen-grub split package for the various Xen flavored builds.

If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.

EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen

I've got a 4.14.0-0 on my github that seems to be running well on my test machines, so if those grub changes are good to go, I can push to AUR.

@Reutationalist That's great and Github will work just fine. I'm in process with some other projects, but I will try to get those Grub changes to you by the end of the week.

Refutationalist commented on 2020-07-29 22:11 (UTC)

@cman -- Yeah, the changes turned out to be pretty trivial and I've already got it compiling, will start testing shortly. I could use those GRUB changes as I'm GRUB-avoidant. If github is good, I've been using my PKGBUILD repo as a staging area, so you can get me the changes there, otherwise we'll figure it out.

Hi @Refutationalist, thanks for the great package. I have compiled this package with 4.14.0, and can confirm that most, but not all, of the gcc patches are no longer needed. I've also rebased the grub script on what is in the latest Archlinux package, plus added support to the script for cpu microcode updates and xsm, if present.

I, too, am not too conversant with aur, so I don't know whether a standard way exists to do that (other than with git, of course), but I'm happy to contribute patchsets if you would like if you tell me how you want them.

@linuxninja - Yeah, my package is still requiring qemu-xen from my personal repo, something that I'll be fixing in the next update.

I'm also looking at 4.14.0, which is not compiling but looks to have some of the same problems as 4.13.1 did. I'll try to have something ASAP, depending on complexity and my workload.

I was able to build with the changes to the source that I noted, however, I am unable to start a HVM VM with the new build options in this PKGBUILD. I had to revert to the old PKGBUILD and go back to Xen 4.13.0.

source = https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xen/raw/master/f/xen.gcc10.fixes.patch https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xen/raw/master/f/xen.ocaml.4.10.patch

Needs to be changed to

source = https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xen/raw/f32/f/xen.gcc10.fixes.patch https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xen/raw/f32/f/xen.ocaml.4.10.patch

in the PKGBUILD. The f32 tag reflects the files the PKGBUILD has been using up to this point. The Master branch has moved on to Xen 4.14.0 and has removed the ocaml patch and the gcc10 patch is no longer the same file.

Ok, so it turns out I'm actually blind. Removing --with-system-qemu from the build function does the deed. Makes me think there should be an optdepends or depends on qemu if you're going that route so that it's slightly more obvious.

alaricljs commented on 2020-07-21 16:43 (UTC)

So how do I get a functional HVM with this release? (4.13.1-4) There's no /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm but I don't see anything obvious in the PKGBUILD as to why.

WANTED: Maintainer or co-maintainer.

I've written a lot of PKGBUILDs for my own purposes, but I'm not that conversant with AUR itself other than using it. I'm also going to be hip deep in work over the next few months and might miss stuff.
