Arch Linux User Repository

The PKGBUILD supports customization via environment variables. Here's a list of all of them:
_makemenuconfig: Invokes make menuconfig (default configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makenconfig: Invokes make nconfig (nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makexconfig: Invokes make xconfig (GUI configuration menu) before compilation starts
_use_current: Will use the configuration of the running kernel, if the running kernel is compiled with IKCONFIG_PROC
_copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root as kconfig-new before compilation starts
_localmodcfg: Only compiles modules found in modprobed-db's database (which decreases compilation time and kernel size)
_use_llvm_lto: Compiles the kernel with LLVM instead of GCC. Should work, if not write a comment
_subarch: Specifies the sub architecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 40 (Generic-x86-64), which is \compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number
_debug: Force enables debug options when set to y, force disables debug options when set to n or uses the config defaults when unset

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug.

If you want a dead simple way to compile this package, you can try out my build tool. It includes a few no nonsense changes to the kernel configuration and allows you to configure the PKGBUILD in a simple manner and decrease build time. And if you don't want that, using makepkg as-is works fine too.

Kernel has been updated and is now maintained again.

Thank you metak for creating this package in the first place.

@bjoe2k4 You can manually re-add the key (download the key with wget, import and sign it).

But it's more or less useless since signatures are broken in open-build-service for pacman. Might as well set SigLevel = Never.

The signature key expired yesterday :-(

Thank you vary much

@Morisson 5.3.11-3 (clr 5.3.11-868) enable ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE

Hi. Can you change kernel config from your reposotory? ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE=y I need add patched dsdt for my laptop. Please)

@danhyal I'm afraid that's not possible and it kinda defeats the purpose of this package IMO. I already added two patches (cpu optimizations and acs overrides) because they're small and don't change the kernel in radical way. On the other hand -ck patches are much bigger, touch many more files, change a bunch of existing config options, etc. There could also be clashes between -ck and -clear patches... Besides, this kernel is already optimized for desktop/laptop users so I don't really see a point?

Could you make a seperate package with the ck patchset applied? Since most people using this kernel are desktop/laptop users, it would be useful.

@danhyal 5.3.8-4 (clr 5.3.7-853) enable CONFIG_NETFILTER_INGRESS

Could you add the config option CONFIG_NETFILTER_INGRESS

Ah I am running mkinicpio 26 not 27 I will update. Thanks.

_----------- Yes everything is working now.

Thanks again for your time.
