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

@meltfund: That looks like one of the dependancies might not have downloaded correctly (during compile, the Makefiles pull down a number of additional sources, patch and compile against them) - I'm currently modifying the PKGBUILD to download those before compile, confirm they downloaded correctly, then copy them into place so the build scripts can make use of them) - should have a new version uploaded later today (after I've finished a couple of build tests - both on bare metal and under a virtual environment)

Similar build problem on this system today http://pastebin.com/nHgDssf2

@kantras: In fact it is a little bit strange because I've two laptops and both have archlinux 64bits installed. The problem occurs only on one of them. It is a Dell latitude E5520 and I'm trying to build xen directly on the baremetal, I mean I'm not inside a VM or a container.

I've been trying to reproduce both the compile issues listed and still am unable to; all rebuild attempts have been successful. I'm going to continue to try and reproduce the issues, but if people could share more details on the hardware that they are trying to build on, that may help narrow things down

@malinas: Thanks, will get that added in @thouveng: I'm retesting building right now to try and reproduce - the file in question is the defaults for the xendomains script (used when you want to auto-start domUs on startup) so isn't critical if not using it

malinas commented on 2013-12-18 13:15 (UTC)

libseccomp is missing as a dependency, which makes launching domU's a no go.
