As of now (2024-22-05) Xen with stubdom doesn't build because of a problem in the imported code. Been this way for about two weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Also, there is a lot of work happening on Xen in my development repo, thanks to @Serus. Check it out at: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

My Xen broke too after updating the gnutls to 3.4.0. To fix it, I had to: - edit the PKGBUILD and add a pause command (read -p "wait") at the prepare function (to manually apply the patch) - edit the PKGBUILD on the fly by replacing ../.. with $srcdir (to fix the source dir assumption) - At the moment the prepare statement is waiting, applying the gnutls-3.4.0.patch from a second terminal. - Continue the build in the first terminal. This repaired my Xen and it is working as before.

Testing and should be releasing update either tonight or tomorrow

@hugleo The patch works perfect for me. Thank you.

Maybe this patch will workout? http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/diff/main/xen/gnutls-3.4.0.patch?id=628f27939412a7d6fb67734bd644119a1f49463a

I recently upgraded gnutls to 3.4.0 and it's broken my HVMs. Logs showed libgnutls.so.28 not being found. General advice for these sorts of problems is to rebuild so I tried. Rebuilding fails in tools/qemu-xen-traditional/vnc.c with undefined references to gnutls_*_set_priority. AFAICS this set of functions was deprecated some years ago so I suspect they are no longer present. Downgraded gnutls for now

Already fixed in my local copy, will be uploading once I get back to that machine

I am having the same problem that @ArthurBorsboom is having with makepkg not being able to find tmpfiles.d-xen.conf when I build in a clean chroot. I am pretty sure install -Dm644 ../../tmpfiles.d-$pkgname.conf usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/$pkgname.conf is making an assumption about the location of $srcdir relative to $pkgdir. I think it should be install -Dm644 $srcdir/tmpfiles.d-$pkgname.conf usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/$pkgname.conf If I am correct, there are a couple of other lines immediately afterwards that also need the change. I think to be totaly robust, $srcdir should be wrapped in quotes throughout the PKGBUILD.

How is video passing with this xen ? I tried xen efi aur and could not get this working. I had switched to kvm from xen 4.4 and kvm is so much better.

I can confirm the last post. The syntax of the dom0_mem option provided in the efi-xen.cfg file is wrong, the correct one is with a : instead of a = in the max parameter. If you're using UEFI Boot, you will eventually notice it. Also, an issue popped where if creating an Arch Linux DomU, installing Xorg and a Desktop Manager, the Mouse cursor is invisible. At least some other guy had the same issue: http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-users/2015-04/msg00033.html I can confirm it. I don't know if its a Xen issue, or any other of the upgraded Arch Linux packages related to it (xorg-server 1.17.1 comes to mind). I'm using the xf86-video-vesa Driver. Finally, I made public an english installation guide for Arch Linux and Xen, which I suppose some people here may find interesing: http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-04/msg00709.html
