Arch Linux User Repository

@paleo9 I must have asleep when I edited the PKGBUILD yesterday, my bad. Anyway, fixed.

I just uploaded the work I had started for systemd service files for xen, into a temporary directory at http://www.kantras.info/xen/ - The key differences are that the xenstored and xenconsoled services will only start on a dom0 which has /proc/xen mounted and has the right capabilities. I also include a patch which allows newer versions of texi2html to be installed. The xendomU service is just one that I'm starting to play with, when you only want to start individual domains. I'm currently comparing the PKGBUILD against the one I'm using locally. I'm running mainly HVM domU's (linux and windows) on a test server.

Not working just yet, but nearly there. * xendomains is in etc/rc.d but xendomains.service looks in etc/xen/scripts n.b just something to be aware of: etc/rc.d/xendomains is a script but /etc/defaults/xendomains is a config file. * xen.conf is not copied to /etc/modules-load.d With these issues corrected, the package installs and, after configuration, I could create paravirtualised vms. I don't have a hardware virtual capable processor so cannot comment on hardware virtual etc, but have no reason for any doubt. All the best to you luolimao. ================== Other considerations: * package creates a directory in /usr/local (not allowed?) * package creates man files in /usr/share/man/{man1 man8} that are missing from xen-docs. xen-docs provides files missing from xen 4.2.0-04. The two packages combined create all man files from upstream.

Updated to work with systemd. Much thanks to paleo9 :D

Systemd service files and information given in the github link below, are now in the Xen page of Archwiki. The wiki page has been completely revised for Xen 4.2, xenstored and the xl toolstack; it includes bootloader and networking configuration. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xen

I created a set of systemd service files and notes to integrate with Xen 4.2. They were tested with a virgin install of Arch + Xen4.2 AUR (base, base-devel, xen AUR tarball and dependencies). Hope you find them useful. Full details https://gist.github.com/a2b71e4a17fdf7bbcfc0

pyxml texlive-core and transfig are no longer dependencies. They have been replaced by 'markdown'. See the list of prerequisites in README of the current Xen 4.2 download. I have built AUR xen-docs using both methods and the same set of files are created.
