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

@ezequiel.ezb: Import key via 'gpg --recv-keys 83FE14C957E82BD9' and retry build

All dependencies install correctly, however, I get this error afterwards:

@das_j: Xen 4.9 has full multiboot2 support to make EFI + Grub + Xen working out of the box. See https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_EFI In Arch Linux there is already grub2 2.02 with working multiboot2, so could cou please apply the following patch to grub-mkconfig-helper: https://zuppy.pm/patches/xen-grub2-efi-multiboot2.patch I've tested it already, with this patch Xen can be booted via grub in BIOS and UEFI mode. Without the patch you are forced to switch to BIOS mode or use EFI binary directly which makes multi-OS / grub2 booting very complicated.

@das_j: There is a bug in this package which will result in systemd failing to load kernel modules: Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd-modules-load[4287]: Failed to find module 'gntdev' Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd-modules-load[4287]: Failed to find module 'netbk' Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd-modules-load[4287]: Failed to find module 'blkbk' Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd-modules-load[4287]: Failed to find module 'xen-scsibk' Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd-modules-load[4287]: Failed to find module 'usbbk' Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd-modules-load[4287]: Failed to find module 'pciback' Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd-modules-load[4287]: Failed to find module 'blktap2' Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd[1]: systemd-modules-load.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Nov 24 15:09:49 server systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. The reason is because the shipped xen.conf is never installed during package build, therefore the xen default is installed but not working for Arch Linux kernels. Could you please apply the following patch to PKGBUILD: https://zuppy.pm/patches/xen-modules-load-fix.patch

Does anyone knows how to get coretemp/lm_sensors to work with xen-kernel? I am able to monitor cpu temperature with regular kernel, but not in dom0/xen-kernel.

If this only installs one package, what about changing the make dependency in the package from pandoc to pandoc-bin? Or does this have side effects?

zootboy commented on 2017-10-19 03:41 (UTC)

@ArthurBorsboom You can install pandoc-bin in its place.

Xen doesn't build (anymore): entry.S: Assembler messages: entry.S:42: Error: invalid operands (*ABS* and *UND* sections) for `-' entry.S:61: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `+' entry.S:115: Error: invalid operands (*ABS* and *UND* sections) for `-' entry.S:110: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `-' make[6]: *** [/opt/tmp/makepkg/xen/src/xen-4.9.0/xen/Rules.mk:177: entry.o] Error 1 Any idea how to solve this?

ArthurBorsboom commented on 2017-10-14 08:11 (UTC)

Is the pandoc make dependency really necessary? It brings in exactly 101 haskell-* (dependency) packages.
