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

@kantras I have a very minor adjustment. In the included example efi-xen.cfg file, could the option dom0_mem=1024M,max=1024M please be changed to dom0_mem=1024M,max:1024M I believe the …,max=... option is incorrect syntax. It did not limit dom0 memory for me with EFI booted xen until changed to max:. Otherwise, everything built (with an --enable-targets=x86_64-pep built binutils to build EFI Xen) and is running without issue. Thank you for maintaining the package.

Some more debugging info, where I added a pwd in the PKGBUILD: pwd before "cd pkgdir": /tmp/makepkg/xen/src/xen-4.5.0 pwd before "install cmd": /tmp/makepkg/xen/pkg/xen install: cannot stat ‘../../tmpfiles.d-xen.conf’: No such file or directory

I'm trying to build this on an x86_64 system running kernel 3.18.6-1 via yaourt, but I get an error telling me that the dev86 and lib32-glibc targets can't be found. Searching for the via the AUR web interface doesn't turn up anything either. Help?
