Information comment
This comment provides useful information about this package. Make sure to read it through, you won't regret it.

Repository URL
This package is hosted at sos!git. If you want to contribute to the package, you can do it here: https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/aur-linux-clear

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. This prevents unnecessary signups.

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.

PKGBUILD environment variable customization
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
- _optimize_defconfig: Applies package maintainer-picked configuration changes to your defconfig. Only takes effect with _use_current being enabled
- _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 open an issue
- _subarch: Specifies the subarchitecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 41/MGENERIC_CPU (Generic x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number or subarch name
- _subarch_microarch: Specifies the microarchitecture to compile for. Only applies to and is required by the MGENERIC_CPU subarch. Must be a number between 1 and 4 (click for more information)
- _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. For more information please check their documentation inside the PKGBUILD file

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.

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.

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.

Why don't you set the subarch to 27? since gcc will detect all the available instructions sets, it shouldn't cause any problems.

@metak I have tested it and the patch seems to be working as expected, thanks for including it.
