Updates
I usually publish updates 0-3 days after a kernel release, depending on how busy I am.
If I however get wind of security-relevant updates or any vulnerabilities I will try to update the kernel as soon as possible and write a comment about the vulnerability/update. So make sure to subscribe to this package's comment mailing list.

The PKGBUILD file supports customization via environment variables. Here's a list of all of them:
_makemenuconfig: Invokes make menuconfig (ncurses-based default configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makenconfig: Invokes make nconfig (ncurses-based nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makexconfig: Invokes make xconfig (X11-based 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. See their descriptions for more information.

GPG errors
If makepkg complains about invalid PGP keys, try running this command first: gpg --locate-keys torvalds@kernel.org gregkh@kernel.org sashal@kernel.org benh@debian.org. This command only needs to be executed once.

Issue handling
Please only submit issues in the package's repository if they aren't bug reports about the package or help requests. Please keep them to the AUR only. Tihs prevents unnecessary signups.

Build tool
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 file in a simple manner and decrease build time. And if you don't want that, using makepkg as-is works fine too.

@danhyal I've added it, but if there's any complaints/regressions/etc. I'll have to remove it. So I hope you and others can test it and report back.

consider adding the fsync patch? https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/futex-wait-multiple-5.2.1.patch?h=linux-fsync

@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

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.
