Thanks! Will test.
I also think we should switch the default from 4.5 to 4.8 as soon as I fix 4.8 build, gcc update broke it again :(
|
|
I agree that 4.5 should be deprecated since security support ended in January. |
|
now all 3 versions (-vanilla, -slim, -light) build. Still needs testing. |
|
@oxij regarding xen 4.8, I believe this will fix the gcc7 build error: https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=f49fa658b53580cf2ad354d2bf1796766cc11222 |
|
May I kindly ask you to fetchpatch it into the 4.8 expression and to check it compiles? My computational resources are busy with libpulseaudio/pressureaudio/cardiacarrest mass-rebuild ATM.
|
|
sure, will do and let you know/ |
|
4.8: we're on the right track. Patch fixed previous error but no a similar error occurs in another place. I'll keep picking patches and open a separate PR when it works |
|
rebased on master |
|
4.10 works now. Tested in a VM with no obvious problems. Could use some more testing (maybe on real hardware) to make sure it's ready to merge. |
|
From a glance, it looks like it doesn't change 4.8. If it is a pure addition, maybe it should be just merged? Or maybe @oxij wants to test it on real hardware… |
|
I'm rebuilding everything the 6th time with libcardiacarrest... So not yet.
I will test it eventually, but if it boots I say it should be merged now.
I would squash (and remove [WIP]) 7a3b1949fdc, bf9426cb6e2, and c4dd6904cee into a single commit, though.
And then maybe I'd repeat that for 387ef24572f and f1541f1475a too.

|
Sounds good. I'll clean up the commits first, then we can merge. |
string compare breaks with xen 4.10 (because "4.10" < "4.8")
this is required for oxenstored to start
|
Ready to merge. |
|
LGTM. Thanks!

Motivation for this change
Would like to experiment with latest xen version (in particular, try to enable xen-uefi boot in NixOS - which appears to require xen >= 4.9).
This change only adds xen 4.10. It does not modify the other versions (4.5 and 4.8) and leaves the default at 4.5 to prevent breaking existing installations.
