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

This package builds correctly for me if I set MAKEFLAGS="-j1" in /etc/makepkg.conf Apparently it triggers some bug in GNU make when compiled with parallel make.

@luceo - No problem. http://dpaste.com/774714/

@Mrs.Smith1974 - Can you show more output? That text only shows warnings.

I've adopted this package and uploaded a 'working' build. Tested on x64 fresh build.

Mad_Dud: dev86 is part of [multilib] repo which you can enable in /etc/pacman.conf by uncommenting. I have successfully compiled (but not yet tested) this just by changing 'xz-utils' to 'xz' in PKGBUILD.

Mad_Dud commented on 2012-07-15 20:31 (UTC)

Hello, Dependency `dev86' of `xen' does not exist. Which package should be used instead of dev86?

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-07-15 05:06 (UTC)

hello I cannot build using gnailuy's patch. Is this true for others? seems like this package needs some love :)
