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

This patch came from the stable-4.4 branch of xen. I made this package: http://downloads.rhyeworld.it/static/xen-4.4.0-3.src.tar.gz I've already applied the patch.

I have had the shutdown issue as well. Is this a patch that will be integrated upstream or more of a personal hack?

Hi! This is a very good package! I've got only one problem when try to restart or shutdown pvh guests. The entire xen system stuck and I have to manually reboot the entire system. I've solved adding this patch: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=3a148e0a7ee0ae56a498be5ba973314ec50cd999

Kantras, Not sure what your opinion is about this but it may be a good idea to add a patch to enable SPICE on QEMU upstream (as documented on http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/SPICE_support_in_Xen#QEMU_Upstream) Please note that this would also require adding the following dependencies: - spice (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/spice/) - spice-protocol (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/spice-protocol/) - usbredir Modified PKGBUILD => http://pastebin.com/eiJmLFfe Patch to enable SPICE => http://pastebin.com/msDz41yT Cheers

Regarding the ATI passthrough patch. It doesn't work anymore with Xen 4.4. I've tried it with two different Radeon cards (7870 GHz and R9 290X).

Updated packages (for xen and xen-4.3) have been uploaded - key changes are the inclusion of the gcc 4.9.0 compile patch (Thanks to the Fedora project), another security patch and a new 09_xen file (uses 10_archlinux as a base, adding in the xen specifics)

methril: Thanks - I had actually spotted that patch already and was adjusting my build environment to make sure I was testing this (and a few other things) before releasing another update later today.

Hi all, I have fixed the xen compilation with gcc 4.9.0 patch (from fedora bugtracking) http://pastebin.com/sGWTSU2s and PKGBUILD changes http://pastebin.com/rgNsPFhw (I have enabled ati passthrough)

Hi,thanks for the package. It seems that the "09_xen" grub file does not take into account Btrfs/ZFS FS such as it is done in "10_linux" for example (no "ZFS=" neither "rootflags=" options added in the "module" line).
