Hello all!

I (try to) maintain the Xen stuff in AUR.

As background:

There are multiple ways to boot a VM inside of Xen.  For full hardware emulation, I can use SeaBIOS or edk2-ovmf as appropriate.   For paravirtualization there is the newer PVH method, and the older PV method.  Both are supported methods.  If I want to boot a kernel installed inside the VM using those methods I need a specifically compiled copy of grub for that method.

I use PVH almost exclusively, and I have a package in AUR called xen- pvhgrub.   Previously, someone else was maintaining a PV grub but that seems to be gone.

What I am asking:

I would like to replace xen-pvhgrub with a split package called xen-grub which then creates:

  - xen-grub-pvh: for booting PVH   - xen-grub-pv32: for booting 32bit PV   - xen-grub-pv64: for booting 64bit PV

What is the best method for accomplishing this?   Thanks!

Hi, seems you already have xen-grub and the 3 splitted xen-grub-pv* packages from https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=xen-grub&id=f87ab3f6914722d3ac4382d75e3bf3494a291374 +pkgbase = xen-grub +pkgname = xen-grub-pvh +pkgname = xen-grub-pv32 +pkgname = xen-grub-pv64 Your pkgbuild have stuff like +_build_pvh=${build_pvh:-true} +_build_pv32=${build_pv32:-true} +_build_pv64=${build_pv64:-true} +pkgname=() +[ "${_build_pvh}" == "true" ] && pkgname+=("xen-grub-pvh") +[ "${_build_pv32}" == "true" ] && pkgname+=("xen-grub-pv32") +[ "${_build_pv64}" == "true" ] && pkgname+=("xen-grub-pv64") Which I guess you would replace with: pkgname=(xen-grub-pvh xen-grub-pv32 xen-grub-pv64) btw you don't have to use pkgver() when git cloning a tag pkgver=2.12.r0.g5ca9db2 for a stable release would be inconvenient on repology.org
