Arch Linux User Repository

TL;DR for those running linux 5.11 - you need to install the pahole package if this package won't build. (see comments below for more details)

I've updated this package to use the frankcrawford (most developed fork) upstream and am removing the it87-frankcrawford-dkms-git package.

If you find another repo on GitHub that is more up to date, please comment.

It's user's fault not reading about DKMS packages in wiki, not a packaging problem.

Also DKMS package guidelines explicitly states:

Do not include linux-headers – or any other Linux header package – to the PKGBUILD.

@vincent.ducamps I can't add headers as a dependency for this package because it depends on what kernel is being used, e.g. linux, linux-lts, linux-rt, linux-zen, etc. Glad you figured it out, though

Ok don't have linux header installed...

Hi

(3/3) Updating linux initcpios...

somebody know how to fix them?

Building on the work @Hanabishi started, I cleaned up the PKGBUILD a bit.

1. Consistency in variables
2. Split package providing the dkms parts and docs separately (saves 14 MB)
3. Installs examples configs to /usr/share/it87/configs/

https://gist.github.com/graysky2/5ccfa210942138570902afa4e621ba36

I get an error when running DKMS operations, until I delete /var/lib/dkms/it87 and reinstall this package. Do you know how to fix the package to not do this?

nyanpasu64@ryzen ~> dkms status
Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.
File: /var/lib/dkms/it87/227.307d74a/source/dkms.conf does not exist.

If someone has ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS, please test out this pull request.

This package can be improved.

1. The only files actually needed for the module to work are: dkms.conf, compat.h, it87.c, Makefile.
2. it87.conf is not needed because the same exact configuration is already provided by kmod.
3. Files from Sensors configs should be placed into /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors or else they are useless.
4. Files from Research should be placed into /usr/share/doc/${pkgname} according to packaging guidelines.

Here are changes I suggest (patch for git apply):

Is this driver ever going to be part of the kernel?

@anonfunc

Sorry, I should have ALSO thanked you, I didn't realise that it was you that recommended modifying the grub loader.
