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 hereby confirm that the Xen package on my server has upgraded successfully by my regular updating method using yaourt, from v4.4.0 to v4.4.1. Just a hint for other users, don't forget to update grub manually afterwards; this can save you a phone call to your service provider. (Whoooops) :D Thanks Kantras for analyzing and fixing.

Thanks to a log provided by ArthurBorsboom, I've been able to work out why some people were having build issues and the fix is applied in the new version I've just uploaded. As always, the change log should show all that has happen per new upload

@kantras I am able to install now. I'm unsure what I did differently this time around (even checked my past bash history). I think I was having mirror issue a couple weeks back. Thanks for your help.

kantras commented on 2014-10-03 21:25 (UTC)

I'm aware of it and will be uploading a new version once I've completed build-testing

This looks like a serious vulnerability that has just emerged: http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-108.html https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-security-and-xsa-108/

@kantras I have no problems building it in a clean chroot: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot. I am on a 64-bit system and have the multilib repository enabled and only have the base-devel package installed in the chroot.

Update: I still haven't been able to reproduce the compile issue that some of you are reporting. I've created a VM, installed Arch with only a base set of packages (base + base-devel), installed the default dependancies for the xen build, and ran makepkg to build the package; worked as expected. I'm going to roll back to the snapshot I made after the first booting of the VM, and will try some other things to see if I can recreate the issue

yes I was, but I upgraded without deinstalling the one before. So I don't know what would have happened if I started from scratch.

hbc2 commented on 2014-10-01 03:52 (UTC)

@3000 were you able to get this package to build?

hi, will Nvidia work with Xen 4.4? I got the new GTX 970. Still no luck
