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.

Thank you @metak, I should have seen this, sorry. It works now. I needed to run this command:

pacman-key --lsign-key 50AAD02AEB1F61C9

@berturion Have you imported the key as it says in the wiki? Key ID: 50AAD02AEB1F61C9

Hello, I wanted to include your repo in my pacman configuration so I added this in /etc/pacman.conf :

[home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/metak-kernel-mirrorlist

And this in /etc/pacman.d/metak-kernel-mirrorlist :

Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/x86_64

When I update pacman repos, I have this :

erreur : home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard : la signature de « home:metakcahura OBS Project <home:metakcahura@build.opensuse.org> » est de confiance inconnue

Is that can work? How can I trust this gpg?

@fidasx It takes some time to rebase all the patches and test everything with major versions. I don't know when it's coming, but my guess is in couple of days since the upstream is already at 5.2.1.

hey @metak ty amazing pkg any idea when 5.2+ its coming

@zheiling That's what clr team set as default, but I can disable it as it is in arch kernel. 5.1.17-2 (clr 5.1.16-795)

@metak /usr/share/doc/systemd/README suggests to set CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=n. As default, it turned on.

@zheiling Since it's also enabled in the default arch kernel it's not a problem. Done in 5.1.16-4 (clr 5.1.16-794).

Could you enable by default CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER=y?

@danhyal Patch is pulled from linux-ck and it's broken over there right now (can't set native this way), but it seems like it works just fine in this package. I'll enable it in next update and if there are some issues please report them.
