kernel26-xen - nothing installed into /boot

paulkoan · 2010-02-04 14:39:04

Hello,

I am trying to install the xen kernel from aur so I can run arch as a domu. So I am installing the kernel26-xen package. I can see that it downloads the vanilla kernel into tmp/yaourt.. and then applies the various patches to make it xenable.

It then compiles the kernel and asks if I want to install it. If I say "yes" nothing appears in /boot - no vmlinux images, no normal kernel images, nothing. I can't decipher pkgbuilds yet, so I am not sure if this should be putting stuff in /boot or somewhere else for me to find... Any tips?

Seems that yaourt also clears everything out of /tmp once it is done, which is annoying as if I want to change any kernel configs I have to do all that yaourt is doing for me manually. I have searched for an answer to this, and the only suggestions are to tell yaourt to using some other place than tmp as it gets wiped at boot - however, the tmp working area is getting wiped post-install, I haven't rebooted. Any tips how to get this to stop happening?

Sorry if this should be in the AUR section - this one seemed more appropriate.

Cheers,

Paul

Use makepkg instead of yaourt if you want more control over things. Also, yaourt is old and no longer maintained.

Moved to AUR forum.

paulkoan · 2010-02-04 15:30:24

Umm... thanks - makepkg doesn't seem to be a alternative to yaourt, just one of the utilities that yaourt uses to manage installs. What is a good alternative to yaourt?

So you think that yaourt may be the reason kernel26-xen isn't installing anything into /boot? Doesn't the PKGBUILD define what goes where?

jowilkin · 2010-02-04 15:37:12

bauerbill, packer, and paktahn are all yaourt alternatives that have sprung up recently.

I've been using bauerbill and like it so far.

tomk · 2010-02-04 15:45:05

omg...

makepkg is THE official build tool for Arch packages. yaourt and similar apps are just wrappers around makepkg and pacman. If you really need this kind of thing, there are a few alternatives - search the forum for details.

I have no idea why nothing is installed in /boot, because you haven't posted any build output. The PKGBUILD copies System.map and bzImage to $pkgdir/boot so there's nothing wrong there.

sHyLoCk · 2010-02-04 17:04:14

Download the tarball in a directory maybe ~/build

cd build
makepkg -s PKGBUILD

After the package is build post the out put of :

ls pkg/boot/

Also paste the build log as tomk suggested.

yaourt is just a wrapper, it's the same thing as using makepkg...

tomk · 2010-02-04 21:03:26

tomd123 - the OP's problem stated above is that he wants to stop yaourt doing some annoying stuff that it does. He wouldn't have this problem if he used makepkg, because they are most definitely NOT the same thing.

Read my comment on AUR page:

To build a package, you need to switch comments in pkgname lines in top of PKGBUILD like this:
pkgname=('kernel26-xen' 'kernel26-xen-headers') # Build kernel with a different name
#pkgname="kernel26-xen" # Build kernel with a different name

PKGBUILD for kernel26-xen uses new split PKGBUILD (as kernel26 does). But unfortunately, AUR doesn't support split PKGBUILDs and won't let me upload proper PKGBUILD.

I want to stop yaourt doing the annoying things without losing the good things it does. makepkg appears to be the same as having manual package management - where I need to track and download updates myself.

Ok, what do I need to do exactly? Download the package, then change the pkgname, then use makepkg?

paulkoan · 2010-02-05 15:29:33

Ok, I edited the file by commenting out the pkgname and uncommenting the split package name:

Is this the build log or is it elsewhere?

The patch failed because one hunk was ignored. The error message tells you why it was ignored so you can investigate.

paulkoan · 2010-02-06 14:30:27

Yes.

Then use pacman to install the kernel26 and kernel26-headers tarballs that get created.

Works perfectly.
