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

Can confirm that I was able to build, install, and get working, the new Xen 4.5. I'm using Kernel 3.17.1 and BIOS Boot - I don't update Arch Linux since the last time I tinkered with it, that was at the end of October. The best part is that it worked out of the box with my current Xen 4.3 WXP x64 DomU config file, that is using qemu-xen-traditional, including Video Card and Sound Card passthrough, with no issues (For those that remember me, I couldn't get neither working properly on Xen 4.4). I simply uninstalled Xen 4.3, rebooted, installed Xen 4.5, enabled systemd services, modified the Syslinux config file, rebooted, and voila. Also, I uncommented the Radeon patch when building, but not sure if it makes a difference or not since its a quite ancient piece of code, will try in a while without using it. I'm also interesed in testing with xen-qemu instead, since xen-qemu-traditional will be gone for Xen 4.6. What I was NOT able to get working, is creating a VM with OVMF. It opens, then inmediately closes. It seems that according to the PKGBUILD --enable-ovmf is commented out. Will try checking if I can build with OVMF support by uncommenting it. After testing with and without the Radeon Passthrough patch, qemu-xen instead of qemu-xen-traditional, and if I can build with OVMF, I will comment again. BTW, looking at some recent Threads about KVM VFIO, is amazing the progress that they made. They can currently do Passthrough of GeForces Video Cards, which on Xen was impossible for years without modding them to Quadro, and some other goodies. Xen is getting a bit stagnant for the niche I am in, which is rather sad...

@kantras Thank you. I just open the xen.install and follow them one by one. I still have the no LACIP error on the 3.19, but it run well on 3.18.6 I will try to figure out later on the weekend. Thank you for the help :)

.. although the revision i'm referring to isn't uploaded yet. Until the update: xenconsoled.service, xen-init-dom0.service and xen-qemu-dom0-disk-backend.service should get you up and running with the basic services

kantras commented on 2015-04-01 05:41 (UTC)

@lembang: make sure you have all the correct services starting - with 4.5.0 they moved over to officially supporting systemd and so we are now using the upstream versions instead of our own locally maintained ones (which also have different names - check out the message on install for the ones you want to have) I just fired up a hvm domain with my dom0 on 3.19.2

Which tests do you still have in mind? Maybe some of us can help out performing those tests?

kantras commented on 2015-03-17 12:55 (UTC)

Sorry, had been out of town for a while due to work; will be back up to speed shortly

mbroemme commented on 2015-03-17 10:09 (UTC)

Hi Kantras, any news about the updated package or any help which is needed?

ArthurBorsboom commented on 2015-03-05 11:51 (UTC)

Hi Kantras, Can I help with any testing?

kantras commented on 2015-02-12 17:21 (UTC)

Update coming in the next couple of days; system issues and work commitments delayed me being able to run some final tests but will be happening soon.
