Please Note: Per best-practices by upstream this package follows the git stable branch. Minor releases do not require a version bump and the PKGBUILD will provide the appropriate version number.

stubdom is still broken.

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

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 :)

Is there a way to build xen without qemu? I only have guests with paravirtualized hardware (pvh guests) and building qemu takes a lot of time and probably has a lot of dependencies.

OVMF from the edk2-ovmf package can no longer be used with Xen because Xen support has been removed from the x64 platform target. See my last post in arch linux forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269628

OVMF shipped with this Xen package cannot be built due to an upstream error. @Refutationalist, I have a working patch that I will email to you.

Btw, the specific platform target OvmfXen is supposed to be bootable in PVH type DomUs, but I couldn't get that to work.

@ska64 I don't work with windows very much at all, so needing TPM for win11 didn't occur to me. I've pushed the changes to AUR and I'll consider what I might do to improve stubdom.
