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

Building with `multilib-build` works. However when installing with `yaourt -U ..`, there are conflicting files with the xenstore package: http://sprunge.us/ZhNj When removed, xen installs correctly. Thanks for your assistance o7.

I would strongly suggest you use multilib-build from the devtools package (as opposed to yaourt) for this package. That way we get the same build environment. Otherwise, update, and see if you still get the error. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot Yes, I noticed a build failed in the same place (OVMF) on my CI three days ago (on the 27th), but the days before and after have built fine. https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen/pipelines I will think about maintaining.

Hello, building this package fails. http://sprunge.us/LcKE When I manually add -fpic to the gcc args in aur-xen/src/xen-4.7.0/tools/firmware/ovmf-dir-remote/BaseTools/Source/C/Makefiles/header.makefile the build fails again. http://sprunge.us/dFDE Using the PKGBUILD by @JohnTh doesn't work either.

@JohnTh, are you interested in maintaining this package, since you are already doing that on gitlab?

a)thanx for package PKGBUILD I tried to create it myself but I lost on python-dev dependency. b) Xen wasn't build succesfull with stubdom option: (i have ukrainian locale, some parts of output was translated myself with *TRANSLATED mark) ....... checking how to define a 32-bit word... .long checking if .align assembly directive is logarithmic... no checking if the .align directive accepts an 0x90 fill in .text... yes checking for unsigned short... yes checking size of unsigned short... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (unsigned short) See `config.log' for more details. make[1]: *** [Makefile:174: gmp-x86_64] Error 77 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/yaourt-tmp-carbon/aur-xen/src/xen-4.7.0/stubdom' make: *** [Makefile:105: install-stubdom] Помилка 2 (*TRANSLATED: Error 2 ) ==> ПОМИЛКА: Стався збій у build().

When I'll done successful xen settings & I'll start guest OS, I'll post about. Thanx

Please keep in mind for Xen on EFI to work on kernel 4.7.x, you need to compile the linux kernel with this patch: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1608.2/03448.html

ArthurBorsboom commented on 2016-10-08 11:30 (UTC)

Since the old package was broken, John's package has replaced the old package. Please be defensive for production systems and give your feedback, so I know if the package works or needs improvements.

ArthurBorsboom commented on 2016-10-08 08:06 (UTC)

Hi John, Why don't we try to merge your PKGBUILD into this package (or the other way around)? Are you in for that?

JohnTh commented on 2016-10-06 19:55 (UTC)

There is a rather wild xen-4.7 PKGBUILD here: https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen I have only tested it EFI booting (with refind) on Intel. XSA-190 has not yet been added to that. Cheers.
