As of now (2024-22-05) Xen with stubdom doesn't build because of a problem in the imported code. Been this way for about two weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Also, there is a lot of work happening on Xen in my development repo, thanks to @Serus. Check it out at: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

@riaqn @lazycat I fixed the package and bumped the pkgrel. I can boot it, hopefully you can as well.

@riaqn Hello! Have same problem - cannot create correct cfg for grub (add new boot entry to grub) with 09_xen Any ideas?

@riaqn No, this should not matter. I will check once I get home, but maybe not until tomorrow.

It's probably just me: but in the compiled package, there is only a symlink from boot/xen-4.8.gz to xen-4.8.0.gz, but no xen-4.8.0.gz itself, which is necessary if I want to boot via grub? Do I have to compile on a grub-booted system(as opposed to efi-booted) to get this file in the package?

Adopted package as nobody else seemed to be interested. @John if you still are interested, contact me :) Updated to 4.8, hope I didn't break anything. Removed a lot of patches that are not needed anymore and updated XSAs. I also removed the ati-passthrough patch as it was for Xen 4.4 and didn't apply anymore.

I have disowned the package since I have no added value anymore. My preference goes to John maintaining the package. If it doesn't work (so I can test), you will here in the comment box here. :) Package is currently unmaintained.

Hi, xen-4.8.0 release has been tagged on xen git. I have update my master to use it and it needs testing. No release notes yet though. https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen/ I included Xen's PGP signature in the PKGBUILD. Install the key (confirm here: https://www.xenproject.org/developers/teams/hypervisor/openpgp.html) with, as the user you build with: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 23E3222C145F4475FA8060A783FE14C957E82BD9 Or use --skippgpcheck, or comment out the .sig and SKIP sha256sum for it in PKGBUILD. I am still unable to test, sorry, and am not happy maintaining until I can as it makes it too hard to troubleshoot. Cheers

@ParadoxSpiral @JohnTh The build failed as well on my Manjaro machine with the same relocation errors. I've had this problem before, this seems to happen thanks to 'hardening-wrapper', which forces PIC/PIE, which in turn has its problems when sub-libraries do not configure CFLAGS correctly. I solved the problem by building this package in a clean Arch VM (overkill, I know, but it worked fine).

Perhaps this project could provide 'xenstore'? https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pulseaudio-xen/ requires it, and the 'xenstore' package conflicts with this one. (NOTE: Although, for instance, pulseaudio-xen required libxenctrl.so.4.0 which xenstore provides, so this change would be breaking; but it'd be an update, so...)
