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

@ArthurBorsboom Have a look at https://github.com/refutationalist/saur/pull/8 As long as this patch is not applied yet, you would have to help yourself.

I suspect I am overseeing something, but I can't find the hvmloader anymore in /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader

Do I need to install a separate package? Am I missing a built/makepkg option?

Any pointers?

@milenus, this package does not build the qemu-xen-traditional device model, but this is needed if you want to use the mini-os-based qemu stubdom with device_model_stubdomain_override = 1. A qemu stubdom based on Linux is needed for use with the qemu-xen device model. As I have read, this will be part of Xen in the future. QubesOS already uses such stubdoms, but I haven't tried them yet. This package builds the VTPM stubdoms, which can be used to store LUKS keys, for example.

Actually in the last two commits there is no hvmloader after installing the compiled packages regardless of the build options, so I rolled back to 4.16.0-1.

@milenus: I don't actually use stubdom, so I'm not surprised they're working right. They're only in by request. I haven't set up a test for them, just hoping to get feedback. Patch will be welcome, otherwise it'll be a bit.

Hello @Refutationalist, I just read how cool are stub domains and decided to try them. Successfully compiled and installed all four xen*.zst packages. I included in the HVM file device_model_stubdomain_override = 1 but when I try to create the VM it fails because of missing hvmloader. Can you please share some info how you use it?

Refutationalist commented on 2022-02-15 18:49 (UTC)

@Sven that's fixed now. I swear that was wrapped in an if statement at some point.

build_qemu=false makepkg -sc fails with rm: cannot remove '/home/skoehler/aur/xen/pkg/xen/usr/share/qemu-xen': No such file or directory

Refutationalist commented on 2022-02-06 14:16 (UTC)

Hello! Here's 4.16.0-2.

As I mentioned earlier, qemu and stubdom, if built, now generate packages rather than being built into xen itself. As a reminder, if you need stubdom, you can pass build_stubdom=true to makepkg. Similarly, passing build_qemu=false will prevent the package from building qemu-xen.

I am working on that OVMF patch, and should have it in shortly.

The use of SDL requires the new dependency libxi, see https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/4938

@Sven Take a look into the PKGBUILD file, you will find the answer there :)
