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

@tony_42 Thank you, applied :) @maldo Building from AUR requires base-devel @maldo @asura Added SPICE dependency @JohnTh Applied all XSA patches

finnland commented on 2017-09-25 12:52 (UTC)

Hi JohnTh, after quite a bit of tinkering I got Xen built with the in tree ovmf. It does not build out of the box so i had to select a newer version, the one it selects from git by default has a bug in it. Anyhow I got it so far that I can start a machine using ovmf but it seems quite flaky, win 10 just reboots immediately , Freebsd 11 crashes. Arch works tho. I gave up for now and sticking with seabios, which seems to work.

JohnTh commented on 2017-09-24 00:57 (UTC)

Hi finnland, There was some discussion about this on the Xen lists. It is not clear if Xen currently will work with ovmf split code and vars. http://markmail.org/message/vh5kk53z3v4fxhpa If you do want to use system ovmf: Test if the Arch PKGBUILD ovmf combined image works with xen. I think it did when I tested some time ago. Easiest to makepkg ovmf and copy the combined image somewhere. Then use the xl vm guest options bios="ovmf" bios_path_override="path to ovmf" If this works, we could ask the Arch ovmf package maintainer to change the PKGBUILD to produce split packages of ovmf (as is) and ovmf-combined (only package the merged ovmf). Should be minimal changes to the PKGBUILD. https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/ovmf There are also a number of XSA patches for xen-4.9.0

finnland commented on 2017-09-23 21:54 (UTC)

The build flag --with-system-ovmf works the same as --with-system-seabios in that it should contain a path such as --with-system-ovmf=/usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_code_x64.bin. Cannot make it boot properly with it tho, unsure how to tell it about split ovmf images.

@JohnTh Thanks a lot, rebuilding kernel helped me

Hey Lazycat, This is an Arch linux 4.12 kernel bug due to CONFIG_INTEL_ATOMISP https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1711298 Arch bug here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55447 The 201707 install disk uses 4.11 and boots Arch used 4.12 from 2017-07-05 https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/?h=packages/linux&id=6e70fcab0f7e068216f579f72385175113587083 You can build a 4.12 kernel with CONFIG_INTEL_ATOMISP=n or use the Arch Linux archive: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive#How_to_restore_all_packages_to_a_specific_date For the spice error, makedepend libcacard The spice Arch package removed it as a depend in 0.12.8+8+ga957a90b

I can confirm the observation of asura for a fresh arch install. installing spice-glib did work for me as well

asura commented on 2017-08-16 16:17 (UTC)

For anyone having trouble to build this package and getting spice dependency errors ERROR: User requested feature spice configure was not able to find it. Install spice-server(>=0.12.0) and spice-protocol(>=0.12.3) devel Installing community/spice-glib and community/spice-gtk3 solved the issue for me.
