Re: [Xen-devel] Xen 4.9.0 RC3

[Pry Mar]

Hello,

the tarball has not been uploaded to the URL in the mail.

Its 4pm BST when I send this, so maybe there is still time before everyone
leaves for the weekend.

Is it possible to post an xz tarball with a Debian delta naming scheme?
Something like:
xen_4.9~rc3.orig.tar.xz

thanks,

Re: [Xen-devel] Stubdom GMP build failure for gcc 6

[Pry Mar]

Wei,

[PATCH] glibc 223 fix gmp-crosslib config error
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/462654/14777176/

I've used this patch since last spring. This is a configure bug which stops
the Stubdom build. The bug first appeared in Ubuntu 16.04 when they went to
libc6 2.23+. Next, Stretch followed with the same upgrade. It has nothing
to do with gcc version.

In the above patch, I posted a link to the developer on the aur-xen list
that saw the solution.

Re: [Xen-devel] Test Xen 4.8 RC3 FULL SUCCESS 21.10.16

[Pry Mar]

Juergen,

Can we see your actual `./configure *` line? Were you able to build the
included qemu-xen and stubdom/pvgrub?

By the way, here is the Debian way to configure the Xen in repo:
(from https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-xen/xen.git/tree/debian/rules.real
)
$(STAMPS_DIR)/setup-utils_$(ARCH):
@rm -rf $(DIR)
mkdir -p $(DIR)
cp -al $(SOURCE_FILES) $(DIR)
cp --remove-destination /usr/share/misc/config.guess
/usr/share/misc/config.sub $(DIR)
cd $(DIR); \
WGET=/bin/false \
./configure \
--disable-docs --disable-stubdom --disable-xen \
--prefix=/usr \
--includedir=/usr/include \
--libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--disable-blktap1 \
--disable-blktap2 \
--disable-ocamltools \
--disable-qemu-traditional --disable-rombios \
--with-system-qemu=/usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 \
--with-system-seabios=/usr/share/seabios/bios-256k.bin
@$(stamp)

See how they disable and outsource so many parts of upstream Xen?

thanks,
PryMar56

Re: [Xen-devel] Test Xen 4.8 RC3 FULL SUCCESS 21.10.16

Hello,



Credit2 scheduler rocks

still start up Problem with xenstored/oxenstored - I have to start it manually

must be in Correlation with systemd


xen 4.8-rc2 configure
http://paste.ubuntu.net/23366138/

Above is a link to my `./configure` call in Xenial when building xen
4.8-rc2.
It is easier to use xen when you do a proper configure of the build. The
xenstored service should start with no trouble too.

I tested:
pvgrub
OVMF with portable bios

and they work fine.

[Xen-devel] xen 4.7.0-rc6 dom0 built & packaged for fc24

[Pry Mar]

Hello,

This is an unofficial build of 4.7-rc6 for fc24. No part of the xen tree is
disabled, unlike the
official fc24/rawhide builds.

Packages & SRPM are here:
http://107.185.144.55/xen/fedora/47x/

Xen install trace here:
http://107.185.144.55/xen/fedora/47x/setup/x47_install_trace

Xen dom0 info trace:
http://107.185.144.55/xen/fedora/47x/setup/xl-info-fc24.txt

The only trouble/bug I noticed was in pv-grub stubdom. It will not start
Debian domU, however it works for all RH+clones.

Fc24 release is due for June 21, which is next Tuesday.
